"Most design books focus on outcome rather than on process. [This book] is groundbreaking in its approach to design literature. Focusing on 12 design projects by Stowell's design firm, Open, the volume offers a sort of oral history as told by those involved with each project-- designers, clients, interns, collaborators and those who interact with the finished product on a daily basis"--Amazon.com.
