"How do designers in research-driven practices differentiate themselves from each other and form distinctive platforms for future practice? The research presented in this second edition and carried out in Australia as part of an Australian Research Council Discovery Program is of significance for design practice, review, and our deeper understanding of the design of space and spaces. In continuing the exploration of spatial intelligence,"" this research further develops our understanding of designers, how they work and what they draw on through their lives that shapes their spatial thinking, and their practice. The research also provides broader insights into a more public understanding and acknowledgement of our collective spatial intelligence. It shows how this could be developed and enhanced to provide more spatial and design literacy in our communities, and how these can engage with their changing environments.

Reviews for The Practice of Spatial Thinking: Differentiation Processes

"""With its second edition, the research done under the tutelage of Leon van Schaik, SueAnne Ware, Colin Fudge, and Geoffrey London is being shared with an international audience. The Design Practice Research program at RMIT is more than 25 years old, but the second Black Book presents working coinciding with the ARC Discovery grant, spanning primarily from 2009 to 2015, or the years following the publication of van Schaik's Spatial Intelligence in 2008."" --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture"
