Design Like You Give a Damn [2]: Building Change from the Ground Up

My brother in law in a grad student in an architecture program and is very focused on sustainable, environmental and ethical building practices. He already has the first edition of this book, but after reviewing it I found that the two have a lot of different information. I purchased this for him as a Christmas gift and he has already said how great it was! Definitely a worthwhile read for students, professionals or those just interested in the field!!!

I think this one is better than the previous Design Like You Give a Damn, it was a great little resource for my thesis on informal settlements as this aggregates so many different projects into one book and provides photos and snippets of information that could be used to find more detailed information elsewhere.Happy with this purchase.

This is a great book if you are starting to get the feeling on do something great for the world, this is a good guide to understand what's going on out there, maybe if they included more details about the designs and projects all had enriched the experience of this book.

I don't like the name, but it does convey the sentiment of the book. This book is filled with great practical and innovative advice for building a better world (no pun intended). Thought provoking.

This book is really inspiring. The work that architecture for humanity does is really amazing. We can learn a lot from what they are doing. The projects look simple and sustainable at the same time. Really good book.

I loved it, It is very usefull and helpfull for my future engagement in architecture especially for nowdays. Great Book

This was a gift for an architecture student. She was very excited to get this book that she will need next semester

Facinating

As an engineer I find this book very enlightening and thought-provoking. My only quibble is that the print is small and the choice of colour often makes reading difficult.

A brilliant book with lots of great info and some amazing photos. If this is your thing a great buy.

Great book, detailing the learning process went through. great presentation, and information.

Wonderful informative book, with great images from all over the world. Examples of imaginative design from micro to macro. Need inspiration - look here!

Livro muito bem exemplificado, cumpre aquilo que está no título, além de ser um grande livro de referência para aqueles que desejam "caçar" projetos de interesse social. Lê-lo me deu uma nova esperança de como podemos mudar a vida das pessoas de forma positiva através de uma arquitetura simples e barata (low-tech, low-cost), algo que sinto falta no meio de tantas obras faraônicas de grandes escritórios e Governos. Sem dúvida um livro para abrir a mente de qualquer estudante e profissional da área da construção civil, seja Arquiteto, Engenheiro e até Designers.
