    Silvia Gross:

    There is an excellent book about the design process that includes
    activities, projects and resources for students ages 12 and up (though I
    believe you could also creatively editor expand the ideas to suit
    younger students or adults, as well).

    "Why Design? Activities and Projects from the National Building Museum"
    by Anna Slafer + Kevin Cahill
    ISBN 1-55652-249-5
    © 1995
    Published by Chicago Review Press, Inc.
    814 North Franklin Street
    Chicago, Illinois 60610

    It deals primarily with architecture and urban planning, a bit less with
    product and 2 dimensional design. The analysis of all the components of
    the design process: aesthetics, environmental affects, systems analyses,
    teamwork, etc. are very thorough and stimulating and thoughtful. The
    thinking processes encouraged in the text could be applied to any design
    project.

    Hope this helps.
