Quoting Netsch on Communitas: ...I also had a book that inspired me—this is 1947—called Communitas by Percival and Paul Goodman. Percival Goodman was the architect, and Paul Goodman was the writer and leftist. And this came out of the University of Chicago—part of the leftist bit of the University of Chicago. And it was the idea of a brave new world in which it had a ring of high-rise units. But you see, here is discussed Gropius, and this had Mies and this had Corbu. And Bucky Fuller is in it. So this is part of my being—unlike Gordon, I read and I bought books. ("Oral History", 1995, p. 130).

Other editions of Communitas appeared in 1960 and 1990.
