Architecture matters. To our cities, to our planet, to our personal
lives. How we design and what we build has an impact that usually
lasts for generations. The more we understand the importance of
architecture, and the thinking and decisions behind the buildings
we create, the better world we will construct. Who better to guide
readers into the rich and complex world of contemporary
architecture than Aaron Betsky, former architect, author, curator
and museum director, and today dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright
School of Architecture. Combining his early experiences working and
meeting cutting-edge architects with his frequent role as jury
member selecting the world's most prominent global architects to
build icon for cities, Betsky possesses rare insight into the
mechanisms, politics and personalities that play a role in how
buildings in our societies and urban centres come to be. In some
fifty themes and drawing from his own experiences and encounters
with people and buildings around the world, he explores a broad
spectrum of topics, from the meaning of domestic space to the
spectacle of the urban realm. Accessible, instructive and hugely
enjoyable, this book will open the eyes of anyone dreaming of
becoming an architect, and bring a wry smile to anyone that already
is.
