Arup Associates provides the alternative: unified design. This straightforward, critical reflection on contemporary architecture -- a manifesto of sorts, polemical in parts, philosophical; and determined to set an honest agenda -- is divided into three sections. First, an explanation of unified design. Next, a demonstration of the sustainable agenda that is a the heart of this practice. Finally, a complementary series of essays by respected commentators outside of the practice place the vision of people-focused design in the context of other critical social thought.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Brislin\u003c\/strong\u003e is a principal at Arup Associates, the London-based architectural design studio of Arup Group, the multinational consulting engineering company.
