From the back cover, "The Art and the Built Environment Project, set up in 1976 and now firmly established with courses taught in schools throughout the country, has brought an innovative approach to art, design and environmental education. This is a handbook for teachers based on the tried and tested material developed by the Project team. Methods of study are described and fully illustrated with work from schools. Here is the setting off point for teachers who wish to help their students enlarge their environmental perception, enhance their capacity for discrimination and their competence in the critical appraisal of the built environment."

Eileen Adams author and educator with a long record of service in art education. Colin Ward (1924–2010) was a British anarchist writer and editor.
