Summary:

In this book the author takes a fresh look at some of the successes and failures of architecture over the last hundred years. He suggests that for a while architects lost touch with the society they intended to serve, often with disasterous results. He assesses the work of many architects who influenced the development of architecture in the 20th century, and who may guide it into the next. City planning, conservation, the failures of mass housing and the hope offered by community architecture are all discussed.
