How Architecture Works, A Humanist's Toolkit

How Architecture Works, A Humanist's Toolkit, Witold Rybczynski. 355 pages. 2013


       This is a splendid volume that can serve as an introduction to Architecture in general.  Rybczynski makes Architecture approachable with very clear passages and stories that address the practical concerns of the architect as well as their aesthetic considerations as well.   He has been widely published, and serves as the perfect guide for readers curious about how contemporary architecture works.  The book flows well and may just tempt the reader to experience architecture in a different way.
