The Armageddon of Architecture and Design
This book examines why there is a lack of humanity in current architecture that produces such ghastly environmental errors. It brings together a selective study of past historical styles and works of art since primitive times in order to understand how the evolution of design was broken in the 20th century. Current ideologies and philosophies of the day are examined to ascertain those elements which fuelled a modern architecture that is lacking in humanity and agreeable contextual co-existence with our inherited communities. It shows that the complex effervescence of evolutionary life with its joy, communal celebratory nature, and constructive creative urges, is vulnerable from attack by these stronger alien forces of elimination and reductionism because their actions are by nature aggressive and dictatorially dominant. This book will appeal to all those academics and professional stakeholders who care for the environment and wish to see more positive changes.

"The comprehensive review captures designs that place human needs centre stage and those that do not. In the realm of architecture and design, this is a compelling read, taking a refreshing perspective as it challenges the status quo and calls for a fundamental shift to harmonize design practice with societal needs taking centre stage. The work calls for a wholesome society, where care for the planet, people and regard for design are wholly integrated."
