Even thouhg I learned some basic principles of architecture from this book, I have to give it an appallingly low rating. I don't know what the focus of this book could possibly be. It is definately written with such a shallow depth of information and basic sentence structure as to be aimed at kids. However, while architecture might appeal to children, the facts and figures behind the financial success of a specific architect most likely isn't. Overall, this was like reading a brochure. Cesar Pelli is pretty cool, though.
