Abstract "This book proposes that architecture can function as a true embodiment of generosity, and examines how generosity in architecture operates within, and questions, current and historical socio-economic and political systems. As such, it interrogates ways in which architecture aspires for something more, whether within current economic contexts of austerity and spatial inequalities, or within historic contexts of a discipline that has often been preoccupied by cost and quantitative measurement. The texts presented in this book critically examine the theme of Generosity and Architecture from a variety of perspectives, addressing the theoretical, the historical, and the everyday processes of architectural practice, procurement, and policy in a global context. The book is a richly collaborative text which explores how architecture - in its processes of ordering and shaping space - can represent and embody generosity in all its multi-faceted potential"-- Provided by publisher.
