Each chapter deals with a different technique from which we can best represent and make explicit the forms of knowledge used by designers. The book explores whether design knowledge is special; and attempts to get to the root of where design knowledge comes from. Crucially; it focuses on how designers use drawings in communicating their ideas and how they lsquo;conversersquo; with them as their designs develop. It also shows how experienced designers use knowledge differently to novices suggesting that design lsquo;expertisersquo; can be developed. Overall; this book builds a layout of the kinds of skill; knowledge and understanding that make up what we call designing.

I was shocked that this book presents many of the basic techniques I thought I invented and had kept secret. By no means am I saying this book is for simpletons. that would be unfair. but it is great place to start for those who havent made up their minds to take the plunge into drawing and sketching.
