The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford
Each chapter deals with a different technique from which we can best represent and make explicit the forms of knowledge used by designers. The book explores whether design knowledge is special, and attempts to get to the root of where design knowledge comes from. Crucially, it focuses on how designers use drawings in communicating their ideas and how they converse with them as their designs develop. It also shows how experienced designers use knowledge differently to novices suggesting that design expertise can be developed. Overall, this book builds a layout of the kinds of skill, knowledge and understanding that make up what we call designing.Nancy Mitford, the eldest of the six legendary Mitford sisters and the daughter of Lord and Lady Redesdale, was born in 1904 and schooled at home on the family estate in Oxfordshire. She made her début in London and quickly rose to prominence as one of the era's bright new things, becoming close friends with Henry Green, Evelyn Waugh, John Betjeman, and their circle. She began writing for periodicals and novels while still in her twenties, a beauty and a wit. She published eight novels and biographies of Madame de Pompadour, Voltaire, Louis XIV, and Frederick the Great, in total. In 1973, she passed away. Visit www.nancymitford.com for more details.
