Charles Moore : Buildings and Projects 1949-1986

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive View of a Master
Review: While I personally don't like ALL of Moore's work (the Piazza Del Italia's too gaudy for me), this book presents a strong case for his elevation to Master. A very comprehensive survey of his works, it relies mostly on photos & illustrations, with some text. From Sea Ranch to Kresge College, everything's here. Pick it up in conjunction with his memoirs (often available on remainder tables) & you have a really good set!
