AUTHOR

Harris, Neil

SUMMARY

"Harris' humanistic notion of building lives and their communal significance is refreshing, coming as it does when scholarly perspectives tend to emphasize alienation and conflict. To say that the author's fundamental premises and animistic conceits are self-evident is to do BUILDING LIVES no disservice. The book's ingeniousness lies in Harris' imaginative exploitation of a wide range of source materials to awaken us to the aspects of building culture so universal, or seemingly trendy and trivial, as to be ignored. The wonderful illustrations--including cartoons, postcards, advertisements, birth announcements, archival photographs and miniature skyscrapers--drive home the arguments."Harris, Neil is the author of 'Building Lives Constructing Rites and Passages' with ISBN 9780300070453 and ISBN 0300070454.
