Arguing that the aesthetic quality of our environment depends as much on its workmanship as on its design, the author in this book proceeds to develop a new theory of the aesthetics of workmanship which can be applied to architecture, to the products of industry and to craft-work.
Arguing that the aesthetic quality of our environment depends as much on its workmanship as on its design, and that workmanship has been largely ignored, David Pye develops a new theory of the aesthetics of workmanship which can be applied to architecture, to the products of industry and to craft-work. The author shows how and why we are conscious of finish and workmanship, goes on to ask why so much of our environment is impoverished and asks what can be done about it."
