5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Does what it says on the tin.By PeterCatExcellent book for architecture students; explaining the most architecturally popular philosophical ideas in a clear and engaging manner. As well as explaining how architects took philosophical ideas as a basis for their aesthetics; the book also charts how changes in the philosophical landscape influenced how architects thought about the world and their place in it. Theres long asides (e.g.. on Heideggers Nazi past) in places that dont have much relevance to architecture or the understanding of the philosophy; but these are entertaining and informative in their own right.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
