Ordinary and Extraordinary

Book Cover

Tom Fisher, MDC’s Director, has written a foreword for a new book on the architecture of Brooks + Scarpa, entitled Ordinary and Extraordinary. The foreword, “The Anti-Facebook Effect,” argues that the built environment remains the most powerful way to connect to people and serves as an antidote for the often unhealthy effect that social media has had on human interaction and understanding. The work of Brooks + Scarpa, which has a strong social justice and environmental orientation, exemplifies the “anti-Facebook effect” that architecture can have.
