In line with the so-called systems sciences the book rejects the prevalent scientific view that the degree of detail automatically enhances understanding and explanative power of complex phenomena. It establishes the idea of a systems view on buildings and architectural design that through the use of flexible constituent elements facilitates discussion and decision making about how architectural wholes are appropriately put together as assemblages of what the current and future building industry is capable of producing. This book is for all those interested in the
