内容説明

This is a comprehensive analysis of the whole architecural phenomenon. It includes logical and methodical extraction of general principles from the prevailing pluralism of approaches. The author reveals his conviction that every building ought to be construed as an occasion for adding to the continuous articulation of the human habitat. He is severly critical of buildings that display the ego of the client and competitive prowess of the designer.
