This book is a critical reappraisal of contemporary theories of urban planning and design and of the role of the architect-planner in an urban context. The authors, rejecting the grand utopian visions of "total planning" and "total design," propose instead a "collage city" which can accommodate a whole range of utopias in miniature.

On Altering Architecture

By: Fred Scott

Bringing together interior design and architectural theory, this exciting text looks at the common practices of building alteration, reconsidering established ideas and methods, to initiate the creation of a theory of the interior or interventional design. Fred Scott examines in-depth case studies of interventional design from architectural history across the world – examples discussed are taken from the States, Europe and Japan. Scott expands and builds on the ideas of Viollet-le-Duc, structuralism and other thoughts to layout criteria for an art of intervention and change. The book draws on the philosophy of conservation, preservation and restoration, as well as exploring related social and political issues. For those in professions of architecture and interiors, town planners, and students in architecture and art schools, On Altering Architecture forms a body of thought that can be aligned and compared with architectural theory.

Common Wealth

By: Edward Mitchell,Fred Koetter,Aniket Shahane

Common Wealth, edited by Edward Mitchell, features the work of the Post-Professional Design Studios, taught by Fred Koetter, Ed Mitchell, and Aniket Shahane ('05). The studios examined the impact of recent growth in greater Boston at three sites: Fort Point Channel, Central Square, and City Hall. Boston is transforming its seemingly staid identity as a city of neighborhoods into a more metropolitan place. With essays by Edward Mitchell, Brian Healy ('81), Kishore Varanasi, Tim Love, Aniket Shanane, and Ila Berman, the book focuses on Boston's newest forms of urbanism, the architectural context of the city, and future growth.
