Architectural must-readBy christopher burgerBotton captures the essence of why we build what we do and dives into the reasoning of where our most treasured landmarks come from. This is a must read for anyone connected with the field of architecture and certainly a page turner for those who wish to be.The writing is very well articulated but can get a little dense at times. Not bad. just a lot of information. I found it best to take this book section by section with periods of contemplation between allowing myself to digest the content better. In my opinion. this is not a book to pick up for a quick read and easy discard. There are some very well thought out concepts within these pages and it is well worth the time to read it more than once.This book has found a place on my small shelf of essential reading.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. More Manner That MatterBy Anne MillsThis book asks a question that has interested me for a long time -- what makes some buildings beautiful? Unfortunately. the author does not provide much in the way of answers. He does discuss some interesting ideas. notably the fact that ideas of beauty in architecture change over time. But he passes over this to go on to more timeless issues -- balance. elegance. etc. It all sounds very nice -- Mr. De Bottons prose in unfailingly elegant. sometimes irritatingly so. It just doesnt add up to much.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Insightful and entertainingBy CustomerWonderful! A book that is a joy to read if you are a lover of architecture and vital to read if you dont understand it.
