How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built by Stewart Brand

5.0

Truly one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read. Stewart Brand’s writing reflects his clear love of “Low Road” architecture— accessible, seemingly simple but delightfully articulate, betraying deeper truths, thoroughly useful. Though its embodiment is entirely “High Road”— lovingly crafted, maintained and tended by an artisan. The book’s utility and influence has only matured in the 28 years since its publishing.

If you are a human being, read this. If you are an architecture or design student, or are in any way associated with construction/management/planning of buildings, worship and cherish it.
