Review
"...indispensable to all concerned with the disastrous state of our built environment. A pioneering and definitive work...." - Vivian Linacre, Environment Now, April 1988.
"...written with such tenacity of purpose that arguments for and against seem as irrelevant as King Canute attempting to push back the waves." - Jim Antoniou, Building Design, 29 January 1988.
"...absolutely essential reading.... The book succeeds in demonstrating the many things which can be achieved by, and through, the changed relationship between designer and client which is at the heart of successful progress." - Jeff Bishop, Bulletin of Environmental Education, November 1987.
"...an antidote to apathy... that can have the dangerous effect of not just making you sit back and ponder on the ills of the world, but of stimulating you enough to want to get stuck in to try and tackle them." - Kelvin McDonald, Planning, 27 November 1987.
"...an invaluable experience for community workers and architects dealing with urbanisation in Taiwan.... The best reference work available." - Ruimao Huang, Lecturer at Tankang University, China Times, 18 November 1993.
"...a Bible to (Prince) Charles." - Anthony Holden, Charles: A Biography, Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1988
Nominated as the best book of 1987 by Frank McDonald, Irish Sunday Tribune, and one of the ten best books of 1993 by the China Times.

Community Architecture: How People Are Creating Their Own Environment
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
