A very good resource for architecture studio teachers who need to design and critique studio projects. Simplifies and categorises complex ideas that are usually encountered in an academic setting. Elaborating each pathway to conceptualisation as a 'Channel of creativity' and highlightings its potential and caveats. Although the subject can be demanding at times, simple charts and diagrams help to compare and rank different references. The ranking might come across as author's personal opinion but still forces one to look at the project in a different light.
