Design Through Dialogue - A Guide For Architects And Clients - Thryft

Collaborating for successful architectural design.

"Design Through Dialogue" would be an excellent read for architecture students and professionals as it heavily focuses on the importance of collaboration between the architects and clients. The unique feature of this book is the author's approach to exploring the relationship between the client and architect through the lens of four overlapping activities: relating, talking, exploring, and transforming. The book also includes real-life examples of different projects and highlights how architects and clients can collaborate creatively for a successful design process.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Completed projects receive more public attention than the processof their creation and so the myth that architects design buildingsalone lives on. In fact, architects work with a great many othersand the relationships that develop, particularly with clients, havea significant impact on design. Design through Dialogueexplores the relationship between client and architect through thelens of four overlapping activities that occur during any project: relating, talking, exploring and transforming. Cases of design and collaboration range from smaller scaleretail, residential and educational projects in the US, Sweden, theUK and the Pacific Rim to large institutions, includingSeattle's Central Library, the National Museum of theAmerican Indian in Washington DC, the Supreme Court in Jerusalemand the Museum of New Zealand. Material is taken from interviewswith clients and architects and research in psychotherapy, groupdynamics and design studies. Throughout the book aspects of processare linked to design outcomes to illustrate how architects andclients collaborate creatively.
