This was such a great book, I loved it and I really learned a lot. This book really got me thinking about what kind of architecture I enjoy.
“We owe it to the fields that our houses will not be the inferiors of the virgin land they have replaced. We owe it to the worms and the trees that the buildings we cover them with will stand as promised of the highest and most intelligent kinds of happiness.”
I thought this would talk more about feelings rather than buildings. It’s interesting overall, but at the end of the day, it’s still a thesis about how the buildings that surround us makes us who we are.
[aretha franklin voice] beautiful pictures. lovely pictures. 😀
Its good. Not great. I like the writing style but he didnt prove anything. Then the end of it was oddly and pretty abruptly like “Japan is doing it right… England should copy them” but there wasn’t much precedent for it. But yeah well written and good use of illustrations.
