Description:
This book, by an architect and a sociologist, addresses the disconnect between the design of the built environment and social life and lays out a pathway for interdisciplinary engagement.
Review Quotes:
"This book will fill an important gap in the literature available to design students and their instructors. Dinzey's and Bakshi's approach is accessible and appealing. Using engaging examples and clear prose, this work plays an important role in revitalizing human-centered, sociologically-enriched approaches to designing the built environment. Anyone teaching beginning design studio should find it useful for course adoption." Dianne Harris, Professor of History, College of Arts & Sciences, University of Washington, USA
