Design processes may initially seem to be unsystematic and lacking in order, but in architecture and urban development, methods are a fundamental part of design practice. And, beyond the design process, they can help to decode the frame conditions of a design, revealing strategies for successful implementation.  

With this in mind, this handbook aims to serve two purposes: to investigate individual methods in a concrete area of application, illustrated using examples, and to focus on the methods themselves.
In this way, the designer learns to understand his own practice as well as being provided with tools that support the design process.

With its handy format, clear text and carefully chosen selection of visual and comprehensible examples, the Methods Handbook is a helpful resource for students, architects and city planners.
