  • Round Buildings, Square Buildings, and Buildings That Wiggle Like a Fish

    Philip M. [Dust Wrapper design by Jane Byers Bierhorst] Isaacson

    Hardcover (Alfred A. Knopf [1988], New York, Jan. 1, 1988)
    When we look at a building, what do we see? Here is a book that answers that deceptively simple question in dozens of illluminating ways. With a spare, beguiling text and 100 striking color photographs, Phillip Isaacson takes us on a personal tour of buildings the world over, from the Taj Mahal in India to the TWA Terminal in New York to the churches of rural Florida. Along the way he discusses the many elements that give buildings their flavor and character - from materials, form, color, and ornamentation to their placement in the landscape and the way that light strikes them. In the process we learn something of the history of architecture and a great deal about architectural harmony and beauty. Most important, we learn to look at the buildings around us as we never have before, and to savor what we see.
