Occasionally slow and perhaps grandson-author-biased, this is a wonderful look at decades of Eames work and philosophy. They share so many strategies, mindsets, turns of phrase shared with other greats in the fields of architecture and design. To cite a few consistently recurring themes: manipulating models as a first basis of iteration; taking pleasure seriously; deconstructing the problem, solving for each its independent pieces, and reconstructing the bits; the importance of constraints (and working diligently to identify all of them); design being finished when a solution resembles the diagram of the problem; details; approaching the problem space as a learner; levels of scale; and so on...… (mais)
I wish I would have like it more because the premise is a unique one, but I found myself getting a little bored. It was not that interesting to read of places and happenings that occurred in another dimensional level - if the book was somehow related to an actual novel, maybe it would have been a great addition but as a stand-alone book there was much to be desired. I didn't actually care about anything that was happening.
I won this book thru First Reads and I am grateful to get an autographed copy. However, this was not a normal book that reads left to right, this one was backwards. It was rather confusing and I have no idea if this was intentional or not. As far as content is concerned, there was a lot of useful information about certain areas, but the authors spelling of the words was rather confusing. Basically the book is a travel guide with history in it and a few maps.
