GREATNESS: Diverse Designers of Architecture is a compelling exploration of the contributions of diverse architects to the field of architecture. This book delves into the essence of various architectural typologies, including residential, institutional, and master planning, through the lens of designers from varied backgrounds. It highlights the historical evolution of these typologies and their impact on urban planning and architecture, reflecting a wide range of lifestyles, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds.

The book addresses the darker aspects of architectural history, such as housing injustice and redlining, while also celebrating the healing power of design in fostering community well-being and environmental sustainability. It emphasises the importance of community-centric approaches in residential design and the role of architecture in shaping equitable and sustainable environments.

Featuring global projects, the book showcases how architects and designers worldwide address unique challenges and opportunities, enriching our understanding of architecture's role in shaping human lives. GREATNESS: Diverse Designers of Architecture is a call to action for architects and designers to create inclusive, sustainable, and responsive environments that foster community, dignity, and a sense of belonging for all.
