In the past there were few reasons to examine architects' people - the people who are imagined to occupy buildings designed and executed by architects. But in recent decades, the social impulse to change the conditions of architectural conception and execution has grown radically. The situations facing architects today demonstrate the need for creative, socially alert responses. This book, the first to survey the topic, presents architects' ideas about their people. Fourteen essays cover diverse views of the architects' spoken and written images of social life, their design solutions, the nature and origins of architects' people, and architecturally related policy, politics and movements.
