About this title

Synopsis:

This book is unique in its attempt to explore the many ways we have of thinking about buildings. In particular it raises questions about the kinds of knowledge we have and will need in designing, making and enjoying our buildings. At the very least this book provides an overview of the fragmented construction industry, making it a vital purchase for all construction related students. However, the author has written for a wider audience making the book an essential guide for those interested in the form of buildings or the deliberate ways in which people build them.

Review:

"One of the few genuinely thoughtful books about the intellectual and physical actions involved in building."
-"Architecture Today
"This book is like a good gale with a turbulence of whirlwinds to give fresh ideas on the whole process of building. It is stimulating and throught provoking...and should be read by all in the industry."
-"Chartered Builder
