Review:
-- Michael L. Joroff, Director, MIT Laboratory of Architecture and Planning " I have waited a long time to read a work like John Templer's" The Staircase," Its achievement of several objectives makes these unique volumes about buildings and about architecture. They blend the joy of aesthetics with the rigor of building science. They draw from historical, laboratory, and field research. They provide the passion of someone who clearly delights in architecture, yet they display the crispness of the analyst who sees bow buildings can better work for their users. This is a model product of architectural research." -- Michael L.
