ARCHITECTURE OF THE EVERYDAY

Edited by Deborah Berke and Steven Harris

Ordinary. Banal. Quotidian. These words are rarely used to praise architecture, but they represent the interest of a growing number of architects looking to escape the ever-quickening cycles of consumption and fashion that have reduced architecture to a series of stylistic fads.

Edited by Deborah Berke and Steven Harris, this collection of writings, photoessays, and projects describes an architecture that draws strength from its simplicity, use of common materials, and relationship to other fields of study.
