A book which I co-authored．”What is Esquisse?" has finally been published! For several years, together with two colleagues of mine from Kogakuin University, we have been putting together a guide for architectural students on how to approach the design process. It is full of diagrams and sketches that help students to visualize design issues such as scale or program. For my colleagues here in Japan teaching architecture, I hope you might find this useful!
