Description: The New Thinking in Public Art series explores current artistic and architectural trends, contributing fresh thinking to the debate about the role of contemporary art within the development of the public realm.

Each volume in this three part series - habitat, environment, community - integrates a specially commissioned art project, artist interview and commentary by a leading thinker on urban development issues, to raise ideas pertinent to all those working on the creative development of our shared spaces.

In Habitat, the artist Richard Woods contributes his first book-based art work, whilst architectural theorists Sarah Chaplin and Eric Holding`s essay, Manufacturing Authenticity explores and challenges some of the assumptions upon which we base our notion of authenticity.
