An Architect's Manifesto

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why do we design where we live and work? Why do we not just live in nature, or in chaos? Why does society care about architecture? Why does it really matter? This book answers these questions through a fresh examination of the basic purposes and elements of architecture - beginning in nature, and combining function and expression.
