Description - Design Through Dialogue - a Guide for Architects and Clients by Karen A. Franck
Completed projects receive more public attention than the process
of their creation and so the myth that architects design buildings
alone lives on. In fact, architects work with a great many others
and the relationships that develop, particularly with clients, have
a significant impact on design. Design through Dialogue
explores the relationship between client and architect through the
lens of four overlapping activities that occur during any project:
relating, talking, exploring and transforming.
Cases of design and collaboration range from smaller scale
retail, residential and educational projects in the US, Sweden, the
UK and the Pacific Rim to large institutions, including
Seattle?s Central Library, the National Museum of the
American Indian in Washington DC, the Supreme Court in Jerusalem
and the Museum of New Zealand. Material is taken from interviews
with clients and architects and research in psychotherapy, group
dynamics and design studies. Throughout the book aspects of process
are linked to design outcomes to illustrate how architects and
clients collaborate creatively.
