The Four States of Architecture

Summary: architecture and philosophy
Review: A great book that presents a new and intriguing body of work, explained with interesting philosophical ideas. Lots of great photos of the work which really speaks for itself. The work is new and refreshing, and I highly recommend this book. I bought one copy for myself, and proceeded to purchase five more as gifts for friends.

Summary: Great Work, Big Rip Off
Review: I had to be negative, but I bought this book hoping it would have more information on H & M work than accessible on the net, but I was really disappointed in the quality and most importantly value for money considering it is only a paperback.
