The subtitle sets the program: notes toward a natural history of architecture w/ special regard to those species that are traditionally neglected or downright ignored. More than 100 of Rudofsky's own photographs accompany the text, along w/ period engravings and other illustrations. Chapters range from cave dwellings and hillside towns to fortified villages, earthworks, tombs and monuments, from the floating villages of China to a Polish salt mine large enough to hold churches and a railway, and the Dogon Big House of West Africa. Parts of the chapters on caves and strongholds first appeared, in different form, in Horizon magazine in 1967 and 1971. Rudofsky (1905-1988), born in Moravia, earned a doctorate in architecture in Austria and lived in New York, on and off, from 1935. His 1964 Museum of Modern Art exhibition Architecture Without Architects toured for eleven years to nearly eighty venues, and his books include Streets for People (1969) and The Unfashionable Human Body (1971). He was a Ford, Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellow. Seller Inventory # C3VGg-Au110826A8
