Why read it?
1 author picked Making as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love that Ingold uses the concept of design to explore how people make meaning and things meaningful. By bringing me through lenses such as architecture, archaeology, and art, he shows me that design is not a process of doing but of making.
