Through over twenty case studies this book constructs a picture of worldwide attempts to address these problems – projects that often use minimal resources to effect the maximum possible change, with the most precious resource being imagination.

Some of the ideas are breathtakingly simple:

  -  a mobile farm in Chicago that turns vacant lots into a source of food and employment
  -  a remote Japanese mountain village making a profitable virtue out of snow
  -  water pumps in south African villages operated by a child’s roundabout

– others rely on more subtle interventions, working over years to rebuild the broken ties of society and encouraging communities to take responsibility for their own environments.

Brimming with ideas, inspiring stories, and the conviction that design professionals can indeed make a difference to the lives of ordinary people, this book will galvanize all those working in architecture, landscape and design, but also all those who care about the future of our societies.

With diverse backgrounds and lifestyles, these individual bloggers combine to create a thriving online community of trendsetters and style gurus.

The digital world brings with it design democracy; with the freedom to publish whatever they want, whenever they want and unhampered by the restrictions of larger corporate websites, these design bloggers offer a beguiling alternative to traditional media and have become an important source of inspiration and information for the homes enthusiast. In her first book, leading interiors journalist and stylist Ellie Tennant meets the characters and creative forces behind leading design blogs, exploring their online realms, their beautiful homes and their clever styling ideas. Thirteen in-depth case studies cover a panorama of cutting edge bloggers’ spaces — from a pared-back monochrome cabin in Scandinavia to a maximalist, color-filled apartment in California — while the final chapter offers advice on setting up your own design blog. The result is a coffee table tome to treasure — a visual feast of inspiring yet achievable interiors — with plenty of ideas to steal for your own home.
