Description

Many of the ills of the contemporary environment can be traced to male assumptions about what constitutes good design. "Living In A Man Made World" examines the ways in which these and other gender assumptions have affected housing design. This book should be of interest to students of women's studies, housing studies, architecture, planning, design history, and social policy.
