HOW BUILDINGS LEARN WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THEY'RE BUILT

by Stewart Brand

Published by Phoenix Illustrated; Orion Books Ltd.. 1st PB. 1997

Almost very good condition. The author puts forward the radical proposal that buildings adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants and that architects can mature from being artists of space to become artists of time. Oblong format. Cardwraps. 243 pages. B/w photos.

Spine and corners bumped and slightly creased. Fading to spine. Name in ink to half title-page. Light damp stain to lower edges of prelims.
