How architecture works : a humanist's toolkit / by Rybczynski, Witold.(CARDINAL)135788;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The idea -- The setting -- Site -- Plan -- Structure -- Skin -- Details -- Style -- The past -- Taste.In "How Architecture Works," Witold Rybczynski, one of our best, most stylish critics and winner of the Vincent Scully Prize for his architectural writing, answers our most fundamental questions about how good--and not-so-good--buildings are designed and constructed. Introducing the reader to the rich and varied world of modern architecture, he takes us behind the scenes, revealing how architects as different as Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, and Robert A. M. Stern envision and create their designs. He teaches us how to "read" plans, how buildings respond to their settings, and how the smallest detail--of a stair balustrade, for instance--can convey an architect's vision.
