Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive dive into architectural education across a broad historical and literary landscape. Originally presented as a series of lectures by the author at the University of Southern California, this book has been praised for its open criticism of current architectural practices and encouragement of architectural students to break free from old and stuffy traditions in favor of unique aesthetics and the realities of the present times. Starting in ancient Greece and Rome, the author brings the reader through the Renaissance, into the Beaux-Arts era, and up to the brave new world of contemporary architecture. The book features a deep dive into the relationship between the architect and the community and the recurring theme of housing as it relates to urban living. Ultimately this text encourages the next generation of architects to embrace a broader perspective, both physical and philosophical, that includes the impact on the environment and a more inclusive approach to architectural practice.
