As architect, designer and especially author, Swiss master Werner
Blaser has always asked, ''What is good architecture?'' In this
copiously illustrated, comprehensive book, Blaser - author of books
on Mies Van Der Rohe, Aalto, Meier, Piano, Jahn and Ando, among
many others - offers his answer. Drawing on photographs from his
impressive archive, which he accompanies with short explanatory
texts, Werner Blaser vividly demonstrates the basic foundations of
architecture and perception. In a few fascinating sections, for
example, he describes the relation between the Finnish landscape
and the works of Aalto; shows how Calatravas uses natural
principles in his architecture; reveals how Piano works with light.
He also considers traditional Chinese and Indian architecture, and
the relation between archetype and image and the element of
silence. A brilliant summing-up by one of architecture's great
thinkers.
