Author: Hinders
Publisher: Illinois Open Publishing Network
License: CC BY-NC
Kevin J. Hinders’s The Design of the Built Environment offers an exploration of the architectural, cultural, and historical development of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus and its surrounding context. Structured around thematic walking tours, the manuscript examines architectural principles and then uses the campus and its surroundings to illustrate the concepts. It delves into the evolution of public spaces, technical design considerations, and the influence of local, regional, and national planning. Through case studies, historical analysis, and design theory, Hinders illustrates how built environments reflect collective values, cultural shifts, and functional needs. The work emphasizes experiential learning and encourages readers to engage with the built world through observation, reflection, and spatial understanding.

Criminology - 1st
Copyright Year:
Author: Bry
Publisher: Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
License: CC BY-NC-SA
This textbook is designed as a free, open-source textbook to be used, shared, and changed as the user sees fit. Many outside OER sources and authors have been cited in this textbook, these resources are also open-source resources. Based on the different sources used, some chapters may be formatted somewhat differently from others. The “voice” of each chapter may be somewhat different also because of different authors being used. Personally, I think this adds to the textbook and provides a more open perspective on the material.
