Revolt and Reform in Architecturersquo;s Academy uniquely addresses the complicated relationship between architectural education and urban renewal in the 1960s; which paved the way for what is today known as public interest design. Through an examination of curricular reforms at Columbia Universityrsquo;s and Yale Universityrsquo;s schools of architecture in the 1960s; this book translates the "urban crisis" through the experiences of two influential groups of architecture students; as well as their contributions to designrsquo;s lexicon. The book argues that urban renewal and campus expansion half a century ago recast architectural education at two schools whose host cities; New York and New Haven; were critical sites for political; social; and urban upheaval in America. The urban challenges of that time are the same challenges rapidly growing cities face todaymdash;access; equity; housing; and services. As architects; architects in training; and architecture students continue to wrestle with questions surrounding how design may serve a broadly defined public interest; this book is a timely assessment of the forces that have shaped the debate.?

Sometimes the air of entitlement the upper-crest buyers have is a little nausiating. but nonetheless informative and insightful. The author is humorous and does her best to be "one of the people." although even she has the Park Avenue vibe.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
