More about the book
The book explores the concept of Design Science as a visual language, emphasizing its distinction from verbal communication. It discusses how modern techniques allow for the transmission of images without relying on specific languages, exemplified by international traffic signs. Architectural renderings are critiqued for their limitations in representing complex structures, which can hinder creativity. The author also highlights the complexity of perception, likening human senses to recording devices, yet asserting that true perception involves deeper understanding beyond mere recording.
