Reviews

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

In a very elitist but nonetheless informed summary of modern architectural movements, Charles Jencks enlightens the reader to a number of very short lived but nonetheless interesting architectural movements. It's probably about as dry as you can get, though, so you have to be really interested in modern architecture.
