Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the interplay between architecture and democratic principles, Claude Bragdon emphasizes how built environments can reflect and influence social cohesion and equality. Through various architectural styles and historical examples, he advocates for democratizing architecture, urging that public spaces should be designed with the community's needs in mind. The book challenges conventional views by positioning architecture as a vital tool for fostering democratic values, calling on architects and planners to prioritize inclusivity and community well-being in their designs.
