This is the first comprehensive international survey of one of the most neglected but most important building types of the modern era: the parking garage. Four main chapters define the most influential aspects of parking design: elevations and fa�ade; construction and materiality; the use of light; and experimentation. The books wide-ranging importance and detailed plans make it an indispensable and inspirational resource for students, professional architects, engineers, urban planners and developers.

-- Alain de Botton, The Architects Journal

'Obviously affectionate... Henley has produced a book that exerts a particular pull and triggers countless odd thoughts, memories and associations'
