Using language - speaking and understanding it - is a defining ability of human beings; woven into all human activity. It is therefore inevitable that it should be deeply implicated in the design; production and use of buildings. Building legislation; design guides; competition and other briefs; architectural criticism; teaching and scholarly material; and the media all produce their characteristic texts.The authors use texts about such projects as Berlins new Reichstag; Scotlands new Parliament; and the Auschwitz concentration camp museum to clarify the interaction between texts; design; critical debate and response.

Good info; way too short for priceBy Library book ratThe content itself satisfies my curiosity about how the fashion/clothing industry works; and includes interesting information about how each position (i.e.; job) and type of company fits into the whole.However; its fairly short; and given that its a digital product; vastly overpriced for the quantity of information. The title price combined leads you to believe that there would be more in-depth information on each topic covered. It should be titled "An Introduction to How Fashion Works ..." or; even more truthfully "A Short Introduction to How Fashion Works." While its an interesting book; there should be more "there; there."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Nora Connollyok1 of 6 people found the following review helpful.
