About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
Internationally renowned architect Harry Seidler discusses the aims emerging from the United Nations Habitat Conference as they relate both practically and theoretically to major metropolitan and regional growth centres he has developed in Australia. Seidler's planning designs emphasize the "cohesion of the whole" -- harmonizing building forms and landscapes with the age-old concept of pedestrian town centres.
Contributor Notes
Harry Seidler combines planning work with his architectural practice in Australia. Described as a leading member of the third generation of modern architects, Seidler has won many major architectural awards.
