Stab, Fläche, Körper und Raum sind die Basiselemente des Entwurfsprozesses. Jede noch so komplexe Gestalt kann als deren Variation verstanden werden. Und jedem konkreten Entwurf liegt eine Gestaltungsmethodik zugrunde, die als Transformation dieser vier Kategorien analysierbar, lehrbar und erlernbar ist. Transformation stellt in diesem Sinn ein Grundlagenwerk für Architekten, Designer sowie kulturgeschichtlich interessierte Laien dar: die konkurrenzlose Grammatik des Entwerfens. Es entfaltet in systematischer Absicht und mit fortschreitender Komplexität das kreative Anregungspotential dieser Kategorien: in konzentrierten Texten und einheitlichen Zeichnungen sowie anhand von vielfältigen Beispielen aus Architektur, Design und Kunst. Transformation nimmt aber auch durch seine Gestaltung und Ausstattung einen außergewöhnlichen Rang als Buchobjekt ein: Das Layout erzeugt eine hohe Vergleich- und Kombinierbarkeit der verschiedenen Gestaltungsschritte, und die separate Bindung einzelner Seitenteile potenziert deren freie Kombinierbarkeit. So entsteht eine Art Baukasten, mit dem der Leser ebenso spielen wie forschen kann. Indem er neue "Links" generiert, entdeckt er mit einer begrenzten Anzahl von Basis-Elementen immer wieder neue und unbegrenzte Möglichkeiten der Gestaltung.

Bar, surface, body, and space are the fundamental elements of the design process. Every form, however complex, may be understood as a variation of them. And underlying every concrete design is a design methodology that can be analyzed, taught, and learned as a transformation of these four categories. In this sense, Transformation represents a foundational work for architects, designers, and lay people with an interest in cultural history: the unrivaled grammar of design. With a systematic aim and progressively increasing complexity, it unfolds the creative potential of these categories with succinct texts, uniform drawings, and a broad array of examples from architecture, design, and art. But Transformation also occupies an exceptional position as a physical book: the layout makes it especially easy to compare and combine different design steps, and the separate binding of individual groups of pages makes doing so even easier. The result is a kind of construction set that invites the reader to play as well as research. By generating new “links”, he or she is able to use a limited set of fundamental elements to discover an unlimited and ever-changing array of new design possibilities.
