Expanding Architecture: Design as Activism (Metropolis Books, 2008)
Member Price: 31.45, Retail: $34.95
Expanding Architecture comprises 30 essays illustrating how architects are reaching out to a growing client base by taking their problem-solving skills to public-interest projects. Editors Bryan Bell and Katie Wakeford map an emerging geography of architectural activism by practicing architects and designers, urban and community planners, historians, landscape architects, environmental designers and members of other fields. This volume presents recent work from around the world that illustrates the ways in which design can address issues of social justice, allow individuals and communities to plan and improve their own lives and serve a much larger percentage of the population than it has in the past. This new inclusionary practice must define new services and new processes, and these are illuminated in the generously illustrated text.
