becoming toxic and undermining performance and reputations

but the preferences

the positive contribution culture makes to society can never be fully realised

let alone understand the repercussions of selecting materials for use in different parts of a building or of sourcing them from across the world

Not a Woman Architect: The Life and Work of Brigitte Peterhans Public & Commercial Buildings becoming toxic and undermining performanceThis book presents the life story of an extraordinary woman in the world of corporate architecture during the Mad Men era of the 1950s to 1980s. Born in a small village in Germany, Brigitte Peterhans managed to come to America to study with Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, and then to work with Bruce Graham at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Her work during this time reflected the mid century modernism of Mies and SOM.
