Studies in Tectonic Culture: The Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture

Rating:
Summary: Read the Tectonics in Architecture
Review: I have read this book in 1996, and found it very useful for any architect who wants to further his knowledge of modern architecture. The insights of Mr. Frampton with his deep and wide knowledge of architecture makes this book a must have for any architect. It is a different point of view in the theory of architecture than the normal story telling book of Architectural history.

Rating:
Summary: A must buy!
Review: The book contains black and white high resolution photos and architectural drawings. Frampton's text is well written, to the point, and downright interesting. A must buy for any serious architect!
