It is an archetypal language which allows lay persons to design for themselves. I believe this to be perhaps the most important book on architectural design published this century. Every library, every school, every environmental action group, every architect, and every first-year student should have a copy.--Tony Ward, Architectural Design Volume 3, The Oregon Experiment, shows how this theory may be implemented, describing a new planning process f List Price: $72.00 Added to Cart - View Cart -
