Summary:

"One of the two launch books for the series is The Art of Building, a collection of essays on architecture written by William Morris (1834–1896), showing him as an ecological designer avant la lettre. In the essays, Morris develops his philosophy of simplicity, equality and care for nature in relation to architecture, displaying the integrated vision which has led to Morris being viewed as a forerunner to both the Bauhaus and today’s environmental movements."--Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Art-Building-Zegris-Classics/dp/1838282130, viewed 04/28/2026.
