"This book fills an important gap for Public Interest Design educators. It includes essays and case studies on design projects at a wide range of scales, prepared by designers that truly understand public interest work. It is likely to become required reading for anyone committed to serving the public through design."John Quale, Chair, Department of Architecture, University of New MexicoFounder and Director of the ecoMOD Project"The Public Interest Design Education Guidebook is a practical and detailed collection of essays, case studies, and critical assessment of community-engaged teaching methods and approaches in architecture and design. Faculty, administrators, students, and community members will find inspiration, lessons learned, and practical teaching and assessment techniques to inspire and challenge the learning and teaching of design for the public good."Liz Kramer, Associate Director, Office for Socially Engaged Practice, Washington University in St. Louis."Abendroth and Bell have provided an important and inspiring public interest design roadmap. They use case studies to help others understand the efficacy of diverse strategies in a variety of settings. Effective planning and design become far more impactful through engagement and empathy."Kenneth Schwartz, FAIAMichael Sacks Chair in Civic Engagement and Social EntrepreneurshipTulane University
