from The MIT Press
Price: $9.32
Customer Review:
I bought this as a gift for someone. I flipped through the book before I wrapped it, and wish I had ordered one for myself. It is a very small book - about 4" X 6". | 4.0 / 5.0

from Wiley
Price: $32.97
Customer Review:
I purchased this book about two years ago and it has been worth every penny and more. I often just leave it on my desk for quick reference regardless of what stage in a project I'm in.

Price: $122.85
Customer Review:
A magnificent book, which is indeed current to within the last year, including buildings such as `The birds nest' used in the Chinese Olympics and Toronto's ROM, but not their recently updated AGO.
The buildings are described well in the text along with Architectural designs and copious images... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Universe
Price: $29.70
Customer Review:
I collect pop-up books. I am also an art dealer so I have interest in this book from two angles. This book is disappointing because the pop-up images are not as well executed as they are in other pop-up books. I had great difficulty in closing the book after I opened it to one partiuclar page as the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
From that dreadful, yet witty opening garage scene to the bittersweet account of King and his daughters carefully laying out those 1500 cereal boxes on stage, I was touched deeply by a complex mix of reactions: dread, tears, outright laughter, quiet smiles. How masterfully the author delves beneath... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

If you think this book will make you a designer well you are wrong. It is a great piece in the myriad of books on architectural theory and certainly a good read. However, this book is intended for architects and urban planners to read and to use as a reference. If you are not one of these people or... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
