How Buildings Learn
What Happens After They're Built
Stewart Brand
Discover the secret to building structures that stand the test of time in How Buildings Learn. This book proposes that buildings are best adapted when perpetually reshaped by their occupants, and that architects can evolve from being artists of space to becoming artists of time. From the evolution of bungalows to the adoption of the Santa Fe Style, this far-ranging survey examines the essential territory that most studies have yet to explore. Learn how to work with time by reading How Buildings Learn.
