Outside, inside, and the in-between : a journey through the design terrains of the design practitioner

This project explores the relationships between a designer's personal history and spatial intelligence, design thinking and practice, and built work.<br><br>The project seeks to discover distinguishing attributes and 'genetic' markers in the author’s work which provide clues to the works’ making.
