Summary:
It may come as no surprise that only two percent of new homebuyers work directly with an architect to design the space in which they will live—indeed, architects are usually seen as a luxury most of us, the other ninety-eight percent, can't afford. Yet, why shouldn't more people call on the services of architects? With fierce competition for few commissions, why do(...)

Summary:
It may come as no surprise that only two percent of new homebuyers work directly with an architect to design the space in which they will live—indeed, architects are usually seen as a luxury most of us, the other ninety-eight percent, can't afford. Yet, why shouldn't more people call on the services of architects? With fierce competition for few commissions, why do architects not seek out other sources of work and income? Now, acting within larger institutions or on their own, many architects are taking local initiatives to address the underserved, particularly the poor. "Good Deeds, Good Design" presents the best new thoughts and practices in this emerging movement toward an architecture that serves a broader population. In this book, architecture firms, community design centers, design/build programs, and service-based organizations offer their plans for buildings for the other ninety-eight percent. Twenty-eight essays and case studies illustrate successes and failures and raise both design and social issues.

Summary:
Should all-inclusive engagement be the major task of architecture? This publication presents the case that the answer is yes. Through original contributions and case studies, this volume shows that socially engaged architecture is both a theoretical construct and a professional practice navigating the global politics of poverty, charity, health, technology, neoliberal urbanism, and the discipline's exclusionary basis. The scholarly ideas and design projects of 58 thought leaders demonstrate the architect's role as a revolutionary social agent. Exemplary works are included from the United States, Mexico, Canada, Africa, Asia, and Europe. This book offers a comprehensive overview and in-depth analysis of all-inclusive engagement in public interest design for instructors, students, and professionals alike, showing how this approach to architecture can bring forth a radical reformation of the profession and its relationship to society.
