Legible Practice

by Brian Boyer, Justin W. Cook, Marco Steinberg

Stewardship is the art of aligning decisions with impact when minds are involved in making a plan, and many hands in enacting it.

This notion of stewardship comes to life through the stories of six projects, each an example of carefully rewiring institutions to better meet today's challenges.

By zooming in on the details, a handful of practises emerge that will help you convert ideas into action.

Excellent series of case studies. A bit dense, but worthwhile.
