Full Description

In a follow-up to Design for Kids (Images Publishing, 2007), in Architecture Is Fun Sharon Exley and Peter Exley demonstrate their ethos that architecture is one of the gateways to a more empathetic and equitable future. They believe making accessible places of learning, living, working, and playing are indispensable for human growth and development. This beautifully presented second monograph illustrates a nexus of architecture, education, community, and experience from the practice of Architecture Is Fun.

About the Author

Spreading influence as educative design specialists, Sharon Exley and Peter Exley design, build, and consult in a myriad of fields on a wide range of contemporary issues.

As a social and cultural activist, Peter Exley works with local and global leaders to envision resilient cities through art and architecture. Peter is the 97th President of the American Institute of Architects. He’s a thought leader, professor, and established architect who believes that successful architecture comes about when the dialogue on design involves the entire community.
