Customer Rating:
the old jeanneret is a purist with a machine aesthetic yearning to become a calculator.
there's nothing wrong with public plazas.
stop repeating yourself. you're not fun to think about.
architecture is plastic and experiential, but not dogmatized by universality, so stop critcising utopian solutions for lack of ingenuity.
How buildings became boxes
Customer Rating:
A must read for anyone with the least bit of interest in architecture.
A must have for Architecture students
Customer Rating:
Worth the read just for Le Corbusier's description of the effects that a building has on the psyche's of its users. Lots of great line drawings. When reading, remember that the book is a collection of magazine articles, hence the repitition that occurs from chapter to chapter. The book should have been only half as long as it is; a lot of unnecessary filler.
