Process: How to Create Community Buildings with Impact

Written and designed by HCMA, this 208-page book captures the architectural and design firm’s 40 years’ experience in sustainable, inclusive public building design. The working manual helps civic leaders through each step of the process, from managing budgets and engaging community, to measuring impact. The tactile canvas cover hearkens back to the nostalgia of machinery manuals and is intended to wear with use. An exposed spine represents the design process, revealing how the book is made. The result is a down-to-earth guide that makes an incredibly complex subject easy to understand. And, easier to navigate.
