Reviews

[Monica · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is another fine guide but not as creatively conceived as the sister books in the Building Watcher Series because the book gives essays about each architect and the other books are organized by tbroader themes. It is a good companion to the other books in the series and a quick reference guide to architects and builders.
