Seller's Description:
VG/VG, a few instances of notating throughout book in pencil and ink, light general wear to dust jacket, remnants of stickers on inside front flap. Burgundy cloth, gray & illus. dust jacket, 318 pp., BW illus. A collection of nine essays that "explore the relationship between society and the built environment to which it gives rise. They consider what we can understand about society by examining its built environment, and, conversely, what we can understand about buildings and environments by examining the society in which they exist. While other studies have examined the form of the city as a whole, and the factors which produced it, this volume considers the social production of a variety of building forms, including the asylum, hospital, temple, apartment house, prison, office, vacation house and restaurant." (dj) Essays are: A convenient place to get rid of inconvenient people: the Victorian lunatic asylum / Andrew Scull--The modern hospital in England and France: the social and medical uses of architecture / Adrian Forty--Design and reform: the 'separate system' in the nineteenth-century English prison / Heather Tomlinson--The Hindu temple in south India / Susan Lewandowski--The apartment house in urban America / John Hancock--A time for space and a space for time: the social production of the vacation house / Anthony D. King--Places of refreshment in the nineteenth-century city / Robert Thorne--Office buildings and organisational chance / Francis Duffy--Vernacular architecture and the cultural determinants of form / Amos Rapoport.
