Visuality for Architects is a brilliant critique of the neglect of the visual aspect of architectural understanding and practice. Branko Mitrovic's style is accessible and unpretentious, and he brings to bear an enviable knowledge of architectural theory, architectural history, philosophy (of various genres), and empirical psychology. This unusual breadth, and the passion with which the author pursues his topic, offers a very powerful argument in favor of the centrality of visuality in architecture.
--Nick Zangwill, Durham University, author of The Metaphysics of BeautyThere is currently a movement away from an exclusively intellectual justification for architectural form toward more sensate, emotional, and aesthetic relationships between viewers and objects viewed. And yet there have been almost no works of architecture scholarship or history that have recognized this shift. Branko Mitrovic's book will be seen not only as a scholarly reference point for this movement but as a historic record for how it developed and why it holds such an influence over the profession. A unique and important work.
