innovative communities of practice has led to important collections
of architectural works. The book provides an assessment of the
effectiveness of their approaches. Architects and clients will

their portfolios with innovation as a goal.
It is taken for granted nowadays that supporting innovative

Australia, Belgium, England, Japan, South East Asia, Slovenia,
Spain, Switzerland and the USA, retailers, institutions, local and
regional government and transport authorities have established
substantial bodies of work by new and emerging architects. This
books looks at what their goals are and how they have achieved
them. Is it possible to promote sustainable communities of
innovative practice through such patronage? Can innovation be
kick-started by importing visionary works?
