Add to basketPaperback. The Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design is the outreach arm of the Tulane School of Architecture. The Center works with nonprofit organisations and community-based groups to provide design services to communities who are consistently under-served by the design professions. The work focuses on equitable participation, meaningful outcomes, design excellence, and inclusion as critical parts of the design process. Smallx20 tells the story of the Centers founding and illustrates the Centers approach to design in service to community needs. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, and the ensuing federal levee failure flooded 80% of the city. While the groundwork for Small Center was established before the storm, the Centers early work served to support community needs during the citys recovery. Smallx20 details how the Centers responsiveness to community voice continues to characterise its approach to public interest design and architectural education. The Center is consistently recognised as a national leader in community-based design, with a commitment to deep collaboration and design excellence. Through guest reflections, case studies, and photographs Smallx20 offers a window into the Centers working methods, the resulting designs, and a portrait of the communities and traditions that shape New Orleans culture. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
