Cover of Leslie (Edinburgh College of Art, UK) Forsyth & Paul (Edinburgh College of Art and Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK) Jenkins: Architecture, Participation and Society (ePUB)

How can architects best increase their engagement with building users and wider society to provide better architecture?

Since the mid 1990s government policy has promoted the idea of greater social participation in the production and management of the built environment but there has been limited direction to the practising architect.

Reviewing international cases and past experiences to analyze what lessons have been learnt, this book argues for participation within other related disciplines, and makes a set of recommendations for architectural practices and other key actors.
