Edward Eigen; Reinhold Martin

Opis

Engaging essays that roam across uncertain territory, in search of sunken forests, unclassifiable islands, inflammable skies, plagiarized tabernacles, and other phenomena missing from architectural history.

Recenzje

"With great wit and extraordinary knowledge - skillfully supported by writing that makes us pay nothing yet delivers everything - this book guides us into the rich subject of accident and anecdote as forms of historical criticism. Riveting accounts of landscapes, architectures, and the thickness of life bring the central epistemological dilemmas of our time into exquisite relief. A brilliant book." - Catherine Ingraham, Professor of Architecture, Pratt Institute; author of Architecture and the Burdens of Linearity
