DESCRIPTION:
(John Biln Architecture) . If his masterwork becomes universally adopted by schools of architecture, Hays may yet reverse the current situation where it is rare to find two architects in the same room who have read anything in common at all. (Isabel Allen Architects Journal)Hays has done architectural discourse a great servicethis collection insistently raises important questions and helps us elucidate problems that might not have otherwise occurred to us
"Woa!" according to Gavin Farrell. I'm a graduate student in architecture, and for a theory course we read selections from this book, and two other similar theory anthologies, Kate Nesbitt's "Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture," and Niel Leach's "Rethinking Architecture." All books attempt to do ro. Greatest Hits This is a great book for students and professionals alike. As a collogue once said, "A Hayes book is like buying a greatest hits CD, all the good things are there". Hayes compilation saves time by retrieving the most influential articles since 1968 and places them in on. Necessary A very good compilation of texts that one must go through if Theory of Architecture is your thing. Must be in your book shelf.
