Previous owner's stamp and signature to the front pastedown; from the library of Sacramento architect Barry Wasserman. Good dust jacket, notable sunning, entirety of tail chipped, closed tear to back panel, otherwise intact and now in Mylar. 190 pp. Includes black-and-white images of architecture, a few color maps and plans for urban planning, and graphs of trends. Volume Three in the three-volume Center for Environmental Structure Series, in which a fully detailed planning process is discussed on how the theoretical Oregon Experiment can and will be implemented by the University of Oregon. Interesting study that raises attention to the importance of people being able to design for themselves and their communities.
