This is perhaps the most interesting collection of "architects on architecture" I have ever read. This book is a transcript of a meeting of practicing architects at University of Virginia that covered two days. Each architect was given ten minutes to present a project and twenty minutes was allotted for others to respond with "helpful" criticism. This books unfolds just like a grad school jury but with the who's who of the architectural elite taking it and giving it as best they can: Johnson, Krier, Cobb, Stern, Isozaki, Ungers, Moneo, Rudolph, Ito, Hollein, Pelli, Ando, Robertson, Eisenman, Roche, Mierer, Graves, Tigerman, Koolhaas, Ghery, Aymonino, Siegel, Gwathmey. Check out Chicago Tapes.
