A Bibliography and Review of Building Evaluation Schemata and Practices. Exchange Bibliography No. 470.

The present trend in architecture is primarily functionalist in nature, but this functionalism is being increasingly tempered by human factors and artistic considerations. Accordingly, there is emerging a body of doctrine and architectural expression that yields a diversity of designs that must be assessed before any critical selection of construction plans and economic standards can be made. This bibliography aggregates some of the pertinent sources on techniques and problems encountered in appraisals. (Author/MLF)
