A manifesto for the future of architectural practice and the necessity of good design to modern life, by renowned British architect Richard Rogers.
Written in what architect Richard Rogers regarded as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay considers how the way we build – and live – might change for the better. Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests.
