Summary:

"The architecture of Rasem Badran is human-scaled - one that responds to its environment and meets the social and cultural requirements of the people who use it. For the first time, this book provides an overview of the work of one who could be seen as the natural successor to the seminal Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy." "This book brings together the architect's own dramatic collection of drawings, plans and photographs, many seen here for the first time. A comprehensive chronology of Badran's work completes this survey of one of the most influential and revolutionary architects of our time."--Jacket.
