Summary:

"How can architecture contribute to society? By delivering projects that are tailor-made, and through designs that reveal a cultural and social purpose. ... Recent developments in architecture are covered in thirteen essays. Under four main headings - life, city, scale and form - they deal with comtemporary issues regarding communal space, reuse and repurposing, the status of the public domain, and a visual language for large-scale interventions in the city."--Back cover
