nick_lehotsky's review against another edition

Delightful bedtime reading! Succinct and conversational, it’s a fine gateway to exploring architecture. Leaves something to be desired in terms of its endeavors as lecture-turned-essay. Have yet to put my finger on it, but it may be related to the inability to pinpoint style as a box architects strive to free themselves from; or perhaps the structure of the essay itself, into three seemingly asymmetrical parts.

A slim text, expanded from a series of lectures. Quite intellectual and illuminating...without being too difficult for those not in the field. An occasional photographic illustration helps bring home the salient points about architectural styles and their use.
