Richard Rogers: Inside Out
Richard Rogers (b. 1933) is one of the world’s most distinguished architects, as well as a powerful advocate for the role of architecture and urban design in improving everyday lives. Famous for his "inside out” architectural style, Rogers is known for such landmarks as the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Lloyd’s building in London. This volume explores the origins of and influences on Rogers’s thinking and explains how his wide-ranging interests inform his design process. With contributions from major figures in a range of fields, as well as a new interview with Richard Rogers, this book shows why his work continues to be fresh, challenging, and inventive.

Nothing else damages the earth's environment more than our cities. As the world's population has grown, our cities have burgeoned, and their impact on the environment worsened. Meanwhile, from the isolated, gated communities within Houston and Los Angeles, to the millions of residents of Bombay living in squalor, the city has failed to serve its ideal functions as the cradle of civilization, the engine of culture, and the inspiration for community and citizenship. In Cities for a Small Planet, Sir Richard Rogers, one of the world's leading architects and the designer of the Pompidou Center in Paris, demonstrates how future cities could provide the springboard for restoring humanity's harmony...
