Keep people at the center of your work! Ask them how to help. Look at what they do. Learn from the facts you gather. Try it yourself! Ideo has become a leader in design by keeping people at the center of the design process. These cards show some of the methods we use to inspire great design. Each card describes one method and includes a brief story about how and when to use it. This is not a "how to" guide. It's a design tool meant to help you explore new approaches and develop your own. Use the deck to take a new view, to inspire creativity, to communicate with your team, or to turn a corner.

IDEO Method Cards: 51 Ways to Inspire Design

IDEO

William Stout

Features Taylor's works, teachings and restorations of Sullivan's projects and chronicles the process of merging a stark, reductive, modernist vocabulary with the polychromatic and ornamental language evident in Sullivan's work. This richly illustrated publication is more than a presentation of the works of two prolific architects; it provides an underlying presentation of the reciprocal nature of influence on an architectural work.

Architecture

Based on the goals of "Urban Habitats," a design competition held in 2005 by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville and the Charlottesville Community Design Center for the redevelopment of a local trailer park, this book frames sixteen design opportunities for affordable, dense, compact, and sustainable housing. Case studies selected from the Urban Habitats proposals and contemporary work, by innovative designers such as Anderson Anderson, Koning Eizenberg, Office dA, Onion Flats, Zoka Zola, Pyatok, and more.
