A landmark text in design theory, Lawrence Halprin’s RSVP Cycles (1969) presents a groundbreaking framework for creative collaboration across art, architecture, and performance. Drawing from his experience as a landscape architect and collaborator with choreographer Anna Halprin, Halprin outlines a process-based system: Resources, Scores, Valuaction, and Performance, that emphasizes participation, iteration, and collective authorship.

Widely influential in design, urban planning, and performance studies, RSVP Cycles remains a foundational reference for understanding creative process as ecology. Essential for designers, educators, and collectors of 20th-century theory and art books.
