This book is a demonstration of one of those pedagogical stances using the Heuristic method and the teacher’s expressional guidance. In this pedagogy, the idea of a student ‘making a mistake’ resulting in a guilt- ridden participation is ruled out right from the inception. Consequently, while teaching the course, it was observed that almost all students owned up their ideas while creatively working on the development and transformation of the exercises. This is where the teacher enters as a guide, suggesting, “What if, done like this or why do not try it the other way around”. The book is inspired by the reminiscent responses of many of the students who had gone through the Basic Design I and II courses at CEPT University in Ahmedabad. Prof. Miki Desai has authored this book with the exercises and supportive illustrations that constitute the documentation of the work that was produced in a span of 30 years commencing from 1981.
