This book is a detailed and illustrated overview of all the art commissioned under the 'one per cent' rule (which states that at least one per cent of the construction budget for a public building must be earmarked for art). Responding to the specific spatial and architectural situation of each building, these public art projects are singular in their feel and scope, and the results when presented together reaffirms this uniqueness. It clearly shows how the Government Buildings Agency tries to coordinate the art it has commissioned with the context of the user as well as with the architecture itself, a concern that has frequently resulted in both interesting and unconventional visual solutions.
