Gestaltung als Prozess

Description

“Gestaltung als Prozess” (Design as Process) is an exploration of the processes within design. It delves into their intricacies through various layers of images and text. The book comprises two comprehensive essays—one written, one visual—interlinked throughout the publication.

The visual essay is structured into 15 chapters focusing on aspects of the design process. These chapters are presented as zine-style booklets, each the size of one signature, revealed on the book’s spine. The written essay serves as an inventory of academic and non-academic design research, as well as personal experiences. Crude thoughts, bold statements, and elaborate argumentations create a reflection of different levels of process.

Text types and sources are conveyed through their respective visual languages. Links between the essays are created through excerpts and miniature images. Spreads designed based on printing sheets lead to non-linear narrations.—This book is process.
