Synopsis
A captivating exploration of the ever-evolving world of architecture and the untold stories buildings tell.
When a building is finished being built, that isn't the end of its story. More than any other human artifacts, buildings improve with time--if they're allowed to. Buildings adapt by being constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants, and in that way, architects can become artists of time rather than simply artists of space. From the connected farmhouses of New England to I.M. Pei's Media Lab, from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style, from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth--this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory. Discover how structures become living organisms, shaped by the people who inhabit them, and learn how architects can harness the power of time to create enduring works of art through the interconnected worlds of design, function, and human ingenuity."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
