Eric Firley Ed. Designing change-professional mutations in urban design 1980-2020

In his volume Designing Change, Professional Mutations in Urban Design 1980-2020 published in Rotterdam by NAI010 Publishers, which I suppose stands for Nederlands Architecten Instituut, following the somehow American tradition of very heavy books, let me underline here very heavy- the tome comprises de facto 512 pages- the author explores the most recent orientations in urban design and town planning. The book is based on interviews and projects. The editor interviewed each of the twelve architects taking part in this initiative, including for each one a number of colourfully illustrated projects. The book has a meaningfully red cover, showing the twelve authors in bold characters.
