6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Back toward ourselves.By HuddieThis is an incredibly important book.The crisis in architecture of which Pérez-Gómez writes – that is; in the education of architects and the making of architecture – is eerily similar to the crisis in American politics. Like politicians; architects now have very little if anything to say; yet are making a lot of noise saying it. Evidenced by their making; they believe in nothing more than the latest form-making gizmos or in energy-efficient buildings. They have forgotten history as they have forgotten the place of architecture in cultures; the deep memory of architecture as the mother of the arts.I highly recommend this book to anyone who senses that architecture is no longer attuned to who we are; and longs to move its making back toward our truer selves.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Addressing the continuing collapse of meaning in contemporary architectural practice; his insights illuminate the likely sources of this predicament and set a foundation for architectural practice to regain its unique role in the shaping of human consciousness and culture. This is essential reading for anyone engaged in the production of the built environment.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy ursula freireloved it
