Description
This groundbreaking edition explores the concept of social value in architecture, examining its potential to demonstrate the positive impact of buildings and architects on communities in terms of social justice, sustainability, and wellbeing.
The architectural profession's role extends beyond financial cost; it can also add social value through various processes such as consultation, co-design, and post-occupancy evaluation. However, these aspects are often poorly recognised and overlooked in the current audit culture.
This book posits that mapping and measuring social value provides a real opportunity for architects to make their key contribution heard and highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the profession's role in promoting wellbeing and social justice through its designs and practices.
