Problem Solving and Critical Thinking for Designers

Bestselling author Christine M. Piotrowski attacks one of the most important issues in the interior design profession with Critical Thinking for Designers. Using her trademark accessible and conversational approach, Piotrowski explains how the working designer solves problems and makes decisions by having the reader follow through case studies and stories, dealing with a variety of situations: Design process Communication Asking Questions Problem definition and Analysis Decision making Negotiation Working with others A special section presents a selection of scenarios or documents with problems, and permits the reader to work through for a solution.  This applied approach eschews theoretical-speak for straight-forward answers to common questions, and also points out where more than one solution may work.  Whether dealing with a design problem or with a client, Critical Thinking for Designers will put the reader on the correct path to a solutions-oriented practice.
