Reading Architecture and Culture by Adam Sharr (Editor)
Call Number: NA2560 .R38 2012 Walsh Library
ISBN: 9780415601429
Publication Date: 2012-03-19
Architecture displays the values involved in its inhabitation, construction, procurement and design. It traces the thinking of the individuals who have participated in it, their relationships, and their involvement in the cultures where they lived and worked. In this way, buildings, their details, and the documents used to make them, can be read closely for cultural insights. Introducing the idea of reading buildings as cultural artifacts, this book presents perceptive readings by eminent writers which demonstrate the power of this approach.
