This new edition of "On Adam's House in Paradise" (first published
by the Museum of Modern Art) incorporates all the original
illustrations and several new ones, as well as additional text by
the author. "On Adam's House in Paradise" "takes off backward
through history hunting for Adam's house, the original image. En
route, with wry wit and charm, Rykwert singes every generation of
architectural theoreticians back to Vitruvius, but he manages to
illuminate their efforts and their immolations."--Charles Moore,
"Progressive Architecture"
