Review



"I find this excellent book a most timely reminder of the succession of architectural forms, not due to the arbitrary changes of mood or fashion, but to compelling historical reasons that manifest themselves in interdependence of the conceptual and visual values."
- Berthold Lubetkin (RIBA gold medal 1982)
