From the Paper:

" According to some experts, the development of the practice of arts and crafts is considered to be one of the most significant and extensive design movements of contemporary times. In 19th century Britain, attitudes and ideas about design evolved as the arts and crafts movement first emerged, thus propelling the use of new design approaches in the 20th century. Soft architecture is one such concept that is discussed in Lisa Robertson's book titled "Occasional Work and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft Architecture"."
