Until now, however, his ideas have circulated mostly among a professional audience of architects, city planners, and academics. In \u003cem\u003eThe Architecture of Community\u003c\/em\u003e, Krier has reconsidered and expanded writing from his 1998 book \u003cem\u003eArchitecture: Choice or Fate\u003c\/em\u003e.
