GOOD DEEDS, GOOD DESIGN
Why don't more people call on the services of architects? With fierce competition for few commissions, why don't
architects seek out other sources of work and income? Fortunately, many of today's practitioners are taking initiatives
to change this situation by addressing the underserved, particularly the poor. Edited by Bryan Bell and published by
Princeton Architectural Press, Good Deeds, Good Design presents the best new thoughts and practices in this exciting
movement toward an architecture that serves everyone. Scott Ball, previous Executive Director of the CHRC, is a contributing
author to this publication. His piece can be found on page 134. To order Good Deeds,
Good Design please visit Priceton Architectural Press.
