The Architecture of Hope
Since the mid-1990s, an exciting building project has been underway: new cancer care centers that offer a new approach to architecture and health. Named after Maggie Keswick and cofounded with her husband, the writer and landscape designer Charles Jencks, these centers aim to be at all the major British hospitals that treat cancer. "The Architecture of Hope" showcases these structures where, under one roof, patients can access help with information, benefits, psychological support, and stress-reducing strategies. The book offers a history of the centers, as well as profiles of individual centers throughout the U.K. "The Architecture of Hope" is a testament to these places of hope and healing, available to anybody, whether or not they are afflicted with this terrible disease.

Design and Representation (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Design and Representation This handbook has been prepared for the purpose of assisting teachers of drawing in the work of instruction as outlined in the syllabus for secondary schools.

It is impossible to state in the treatment of these subjects just what requirements or limitations shall be set for each kind of examination named in the syllabus. The work is too elastic in its nature to permit of such close limitations. All the principles applying to a most difficult problem will frequently be present in a simple sketch. The pre...
