“At Willem de Kooning Academy we are using How to Research Trends in a module on creating urban leisure visions. The trend framework in the book is very clear and allows students to spot manifestations of change within our course timespan of only a few weeks. The book helps students to understand abstract trends by looking at signs of change happening right now.”
