<p style="text-align: justify;"> A renowned&nbsp;architect&nbsp;and artist on&nbsp;how public&nbsp;architecture&nbsp;in our cities&nbsp;has lost&nbsp;contact with&nbsp;the lives of&nbsp;the common&nbsp;people.<br /> </strong><br /> Behind the seemingly ordinary life of a practising architect lies a whole host of non-professional impulses that give shape to buildings.<em>&nbsp;</em> Stories of Storeys:&nbsp;</strong><strong style="text-align: justify;">Art, Architecture and the City ;is about these impulses and conditions&mdash;social, literate, personal and political&mdash;which are expressed, but often ignored in architecture. Bhatia&nbsp;looks at the ordinary, physical, visible and tactile involvement of our urban environment and the way it affects, communicates with, or influences us. An all-inclusive sociology of architecture, the book draws on the social life of some of architecture&rsquo;s role players, people whose peculiar demands on design have come to characterize the building environment of our times, and times that are characterized by this progressive isolation of architecture from the society of common people.<br /> <br />
