The British architect and critic Paul Shepheard sets limits to the subject of architecture, describing its place in art and technology, its place in history, and its place in our lives now. He takes strong positions, names the causes of the problems, and tells us how bad things are and how they can get better. Constructed as a series of fables, many of them politically incorrect, this book is a meditation on the opinions, hopes, possibilities, and failures of shelter in society.
