He argues that the emotional impact of great architecture remains vital, even as he welcomes the shift in the field to an increased emphasis on social justice and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46835325141228,"sku":"9780300267396","price":30.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24671703482294.jpg?v=1758543225"},{"product_id":"dumbo-by-paul-goldberger-9780847865451","title":"DUMBO","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe illustrated history of a seminal New York neighbourhood – a story of birth, decline, and renewal, of high design, of grit and glamour – a tale of real estate wrangling, of art, of commerce.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDUMBO\u003c\/em\u003e, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a flourishing neighbourhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
