Herman Tempelmans Plat, Frank Heynick
"""My overall view is that this is a very interesting book, which will make an excellent contribution to the market for such texts. "" Les Ruddock, Salford University, UK From the Foreword: ""Herman Tempelmans Plat has been among the first scholars who have reflected on the economic consequences of what has become known as the 'Open Building Approach'. What he calls 'horizontal segmentation' takes into account the hierarchical structure of the large project. This book summarises his findings. Its methodology may serve many. Ultimately, builders, designers, manufacturers and users, as much as clients will benefit from a solid economic base for a more flexible and responsive built environment."" N. John Habraken, Profewssor Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA."
