The main purpose of this book is to help design students to see and to create. Good design requires students to learn how to go beyond the flatness of a picture to see in 3d the curves, bends, and folds, to appreciate the contrast between mass and void, and to become more ‘visually’ conversant with the vocabulary of form and space.



More importantly, this book seeks to promote the art of “Learning-by-Doing” and to encourage “creating without fear of failure.”



There are 15 self study exercises in order to reinforce the techniques and concepts presented in this book. These are easily adaptable to a classroom setting or they can be used by a suitable motivated self-learner.
