Summary:

"Architects, designers and artists are increasingly searching for the legitimation of their work and for activities that are relevant to society. There is clearly a discussion going on in the visual and design disciplines about a new form of commitment to current social issues. The present collection of articles by leading authors who scrutinise this 'new commitment' is intended as a contribution to this debate."--BOOK JACKET.
