Architect, iconoclast and MIT faculty member Jan Wampler presents a new definition of the central role of the architect, based on 40 years of experience practicing and teaching in the U.S. and around the world. He weaves together vignettes from his past, with prose poems, discourse with students, international and domestic projects that reflect social values, and advice to the next generation of aspiring place-makers and their teachers. The books lays out a vision for design practitioners as "custodians of the physical world" who aim to address social problems and positively influence the places we inhabit. Forwards by renowned architects Famihiko Maki, Also van Eyck and John Habraken provide context as do the reviews of academics and Wampler's former students.
