"This innocent-looking tome...should be a little gem of enlightenment to every thinking member of our profession." -- Patrick Hannay, "The Architects Journal" To speak comprehensively about a building today requires that we think about the building in three different ways - as an instance of architectural order, as an embodiment of values about living, and as an instrument for bringing about results. With this insight, Bill Hubbard offers architects a useful new way of thinking about the work they do. He looks at all of the groups with an interest in a work of architecture - owners, inhabitants, customers, community groups, critics and historians, architecture schools -- and presents a conceptual framework in which those disparate interests are not just given a place but are honored for providing different perspectives on the building.
