  It took a little while to get into this, but once I did, I absolutely loved it. Although Brand writes about buildings, virtually every bit of his argument can be applied to other systems inhabited by people. It is a manifesto for adaptive design. It took me much longer to complete this book that I expected based on its page count. This is because of all the wonderful illustrations and photographs that beg to be studied in detail. One of my all time favourite books, basically. (It also helps that I while reading, I was in the midst of planning the renovation of part of my own home.)
