Abstract
A building is more than a structure: it is an invitation to citizens, whether or not they live or work in a given buildings. This chapter queries whether buildings can be said to create community, and if so, how. It argues, in effect, that “If you build it, they will come” is an insufficient and maybe misleading slogan when it comes to the real world of architecture.
