Is it copied out of a book of rules written at some time in the past? Is it evolved out of a series of platitudes expressed in messianic fashion by a modern? Or is it something that can emerge from the interrelations of a series of factors that can be understood by the student and practitioner? Internationally known French architect Paul Jacques Grillo offers one of the finest modern analyses of this eternally recurrent problem, an analysis that is remarkable not only for its depth of comprenhension, but for its empathetic freedom and its rich imagination.; L immagine se disponibile, corrisponde alla copia in vendita.
