Items related to Invitation to Architecture: An Invitation
Ever since Prince Charles' famous "carbuncle" criticism of the extension to the National Gallery architecture has received ever increasing attention. This book provides an introduction to contemporary architecture for students, interested general readers and professional architects. It explains the current major debates in architecture, profiles the key people involved in these debates with reference to particular examples of their work and sets out the key architectural movements influencing what we see being built today. The book is written with the non-expert in mind, introducing architecture through its achievements and its problems, its buildings and practitioners.

From the Back Cover:
This trenchant discussion of the state of architectural theory, criticism and practice in the 1980s and 1990s follows on from Reyner Banhan's seminal work of the 1960s. At a time of extraordinary interest and debate on architecture this book provides an illuminating insight into the issues of the impact of electronic information technology on architecture and urban planning and why the 'energy crisis' did not transform architecture in the direction of megastructures and did not halt the slide back into traditional styles.
