Synopsis

As a life-long crusading architect, Vernon Swaback ventures beyond project-specific assignments to consider what our individual actions are adding up to becoming. In this book, he takes this to a new level of response to the changing dynamics of technology, education and our increasingly shared-use economy. He then combines this with what can be learned from community-centered examples from the past, along with demographics of the present that will greatly infl uence the ways and means of the future. Building on what he and his colleague have achieved in very special case opportunities, in Swaback’s view, the time has come for architects and architecture to become, in Frank Lloyd Wright’s words, “The seeing eye for society”. —John C. Spooner CEO of Greystone Communities, a senior living consultancy that has advised more than 500 organizations in 42 States.
