Processes of Creating Space is a comprehensive workbook designed for beginning designers eager to generate spatial experiences through a deep understanding of their environment. The book integrates architectural representation seamlessly into the design process by blending material processes and media techniques with 'experiential typologies,' which prioritise first-hand experience of space. Featuring five experimental assignments, it explores the dynamic relationship between design methods and tools, covering techniques from hand-drawing and CAD to full-scale prototyping and various casting methods. With over 350 colour images, a dedicated section on material fabrication, and a technical glossary, this book equips designers with practical skills and theoretical knowledge to innovate in spatial creation.

Processes of Creating Space is a workbook for beginning designers that shows how to generate space with user experiences in mind. It explains how to keenly perceive your world and seamlessly integrate architectural representation into your design process.

The book uses two main strategies: blending the design process with material processes and media techniques, and focusing on 'experiential typologies'β€”emphasising first-hand experience of space. Five highly experimental assignments explore the interwoven relationship between design process and design tools, helping you learn when to incorporate writing, architectural photography, macro photography, orthographic projection, perspective projection, hand-drawing, CAD, mass modelling, hot wire foam cutting, 3D modelling, multi-part plaster mould making, slip casting, plaster casting, paper casting, monocoque shell structures, working with latex, concrete, twine pulp, full-scale prototyping, and more.

Illustrated with more than 350 colour images, the book also includes a section on material fabrication techniques and a glossary of technical terms.
