The Built Environment: A Collaborative Inquiry Into Design and Planning

by Wendy R. McClure (Editor), Tom J. Bartuska (Editor)

This book takes a sweeping view of the ways we build things, beginning at the scale of products and interiors, to that of regions and global systems. In doing so, it answers questions on how we effect and are affected by our environment and explores how components of what we make—from products, buildings, and cities—are interrelated, and why designers and planners must consider these connections.

This book had too many authors. Tom wrote the beginning, middle and end, yet the other gal wrote some. It's like a bunch of books mashed together so it doesn't flow well. It's hard to read and hard to learn from. Totally failed on writing a book.
