RECOMMENDS TO READ

Built upon Love: Architectural Longing after Ethics and Aesthetics

Alberto Perez-Gomez

Why the book is worth reading?

Architecture has been, and must continue to be, writes Alberto Pérez-Gómez, built upon love. In recent architectural texts it is a book that amalgamates scholarly architectural theory and history with poetics of human existence and desires. It is a drama in designing, building and enjoying of architecture.
