Remembrance and the Design of Place (Sara and John Lindsey Series in the Arts and Humanities, No. 6)

"In Remembrance and the Design of Place Downing explores the meaning of memory of place to all of us, but especially to designers. She introduces the game of "Spatial Solitaire," in which a person can use a memorable image of past place in a limited design situation, and she includes as examples a number of the completed drawings and descriptions that have resulted from designers' games.". "Downing also discusses the significant forms of experiences and how they relate to architectural practice, the content of the metaphors of experience, the intentional frameworks for the transfer of meaning, and case studies and theories of imagination and innovation."--BOOK JACKET.
