I really appreciated this book, mostly as someone who has been arguing for decades that ‘design thinking’ is useful. Perhaps, the most useful thing. Unless you’ve been trained as an architect, or practiced as an architect, it can be difficult to fully understand all of what that means. Typically, it’s equally difficult for architects themselves to explain what they do, and why it’s valuable and important.
Deutsch does an admirable job, and speaks eloquently about what’s going on in the head of an architect, and how they think through problems. It’s definitely equally valuable, I would think, for designers and non-designers.
If you’re an architect and looking for a little guidance, check it out. If you have an architect in your life, and occasionally find them baffling, also check it out ;-)
