Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Living in a Man-Made World (originally published in 1991) is the first to make a complete examination of the relationship of gender to housing design. Design is seen in broad terms and revealed as part of the social process of society, rather than a separate sphere in which the architect has sole responsibility for decision making.
MoreLong description:
There are powerful assumptions about gender divisions inscribed in the built environment. Housing is the site of some complex processes in society. In making and remaking their homes, women and men define their place in the world and are defined by it. Taking a historical perspective, Living in a Man-Made World (originally published in 1991) is the first to make a complete examination of the relationship of gender to housing design. Design is seen in broad terms and revealed as part of the social process of society, rather than a separate sphere in which the architect has sole responsibility for decision making. Many of the ills of the contemporary environment can be traced to the barriers that have been built up between the concerns of social policy, planning and architecture. By breaking down these barriers through a synoptic study of how gender assumptions have operated in the design of housing, this book points the way to how improvements in design and in the built environment may be better achieved.
Review of the first publication:
?There is a great deal that is thought-provoking in this book. It makes it plain that design is not something produced by architects working in a vacuum, but reflects much wider social processes. It also makes clear how aesthetic imperatives in the design process can increase burdens of housework and child care. It should be read by anyone with an interest in housing.?
? Journal of Architectural and Planning Research, Vol. 12, No. 4
