Why We Build
Language: English
Published by Pan Macmillan, United Kingdom, London, 2013
ISBN 10: 033053582X ISBN 13: 9780330535823
Seller: WorldofBooks, Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Buildings are driven by human emotions and desires; hope, power, money, sex, the idea of home. In Why We Build Rowan Moore explores the making of buildings from conception to inhabitation and reveals the paradoxical power of architecture: it looks fixed and solid, but is always changing in response to the lives around it. Moving across the globe and through history, through works of folly, beauty, spectacle, and subtlety, Moore gives a provocative and iconoclastic view of what makes architecture, why it matters, and why we find it fascinating. You will never look at a building in the same way again. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Well-illustrated (illustrator). Riss grosser als 1 cm. In an era marked by bold and provocative architecture, a prominent critic argues that emotions--such as hope, power, and our evolving relationship with home--are the driving forces behind architectural trends today. We are witnessing a transformative period in architectural history, with cityscapes reshaped annually and architects redefining the essence of buildings. In this insightful work, Rowan Moore, former director of the Architecture Foundation and current architecture critic for The Observer, delves into the factors influencing our built environment and their impact on our lives. He examines striking examples like New York City's High Line and Dubai's extravagant developments, while also reflecting on historical contexts such as the Covent Garden brothels of 18th-century London and the minimalist designs of Adolf Loos. Moore's exploration spans globally, from a software magnate's mansion in Atlanta to Daniel Libeskind's World Trade Center design, culminating in a celebration of Lina Bo Bardi, an often-overlooked modern architect. Recently released in the UK, this work is praised for its lively prose, engaging case studies, and thought-provoking insights, promising to change how readers perceive architecture.
