First translated in English ten years after its original Dutch publication in 1962, this book distinguishes the infill from the support - examining what users can individually decide in a housing process from what users share - and what has turned out to be feasible in practice.

Comprising essays involving the persona of the architect, the structure of everyday environment, and the role of the architect's work, this title examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his architectural legacy. It also opens a debate across design theory, professional practice, and more.
