CENTER 11: Value 2
CENTER: Architecture and Design in America
The papers in this volume tackle the subject of value at one
or both of two levels: first, as the attribute of all things that
defines them as 'good' or 'bad,' and second, value as the
attribute of all the things that make their way to the
marketplace where they are weighed and compared in terms of
price, benefit, efficiency, and so forth. . . .
