ISBN: 9780300021424 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych.

In giving priority to these issues and in questioning the professional reliance on abstract two-dimensional drawings, they often find themselves in conflict with a general and undebated assumption that architecture is a highly specialized system with a set of prescribed technical goals, rather than a sensual social art...
