Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Thorbeck's vision is no idealistic dream. His arguments are well developed through years of experience and thought. This book deserves serious attention from professionals, engaged citizens, and policy makers, as well as political leaders throughout the vast regions of the US that remain (and want to remain) rural." -CHOICE, August 2012

"The first book 'about the emerging field of rural design,' as it’s described in the foreword, Rural Design goes beyond the design of buildings in rural areas to encompass the design of food systems, factory farms, landscapes and communities using evidence-based research. In other words, rural design 'is about design thinking as a means to utilize research knowledge and translate that evidence through the rural design process to benefit rural society.'" - Camille LeFevre, MNArtists.org
