Frank Lloyd Wright first noted the affinity between modern Western architecture and the philosophy of the ancient Chinese writer Laotzu. In this classic work; Amos Ih Tiao Chang expands on that idea; developing the parallel with the aid of architectural drawings and Chinese paintings. Now with a new foreword by David Wang; this book reveals the vitality of intangible; or negative; elements. Chang writes that these qualities make architectonic forms "come alive; become human; naturally harmonize with one another; and enable us to experience them with human sensibility." The Tao of Architecture continues to be essential reading for understanding the intersection between architecture and philosophy.
