David Leatherbarrow is a leading voice in architectural education on the world stage, whose books and research address how architecture appears, is perceived and shapes topography.

Featuring a collection of essays by renowned scholars and architects from Asia, Europe and North America, Communicative Construction explores architecture's communicative purpose - partly between architects, builders and clients, but more largely, the conversations buildings themselves have with others constructed in their location, through their orientation, articulation and materiality.
