DESCRIPTION:
Questions of a designer's personal style and expression must follow the process, not lead it. In this insightful, irreverent and beautiful exposition of the design process, one of the world's most prolific practitioners proposes an absolutely clear distinction between Design and Art. "Lockard's conversational style and compelling insights make for a rare backstage look into the process by which ideas become the buildings and environments that surround us. Hagelman, former Design Director, &n
A Must Have I was fortunate enough to work with Scott on a couple of these projects. Many that are published here I had not seen though. Paging through the book and pouring over the illustrations, plans, sketches, thumbnails, the evolution and design process involved, its a staggering and impressive body of work. I'll be referring to this generously illustrated and enjoyable tome for years to come.. but I'm very pleased so far Haven't finish reading it, but I'm very pleased so far.. The book is extraordinary in its provocative text as one peruses the hundreds of beautiful drawings. John P John Sheehy This outstanding Book “The Nature of Design” is a masterpiece and a must read. I found the book to be credible, thoughtful and profound. Within its heavily illustrated pages (over 270), Architect M. Scott Lockard traces the relationship of architectural drawing and the nature of design. The book is extraordinary in its provocative text as one peruses the hundreds of beautiful drawings.John P.

Hagelman, former Design Director, Walt Disney Imagineering "Scott Lockard's work is astonishing. This book is a 'must read' for seasoned architects and urban designers who will find the provocative message resonating with their own challenges and insecurities in achieving compelling, functional and realistic designs. It's here where the heartstrings of the project are buried, here when the eyes have clouded over seemingly infinite lines of small print, that Scott's work is positioned to close the deal.
