Richard Rogers on modern architecture

by Richard Rogers

This manifesto on architectural practice examines the necessity of good design, arguing that poor urban planning results from economic forces rather than a lack of talent. It presents a succinct philosophy for creating human-centred environments in contemporary life.

brief_description
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. -- publisher
