- Architecture of Thought, Paperback by Piotrowski, Andrzej, ISBN 0816673055, ISBN-13 9780816673056, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Exploring wide philosophical themes and ranging across time and space, Piotrowski (U. of Minnesota School of Architecture) examines a variety of buildings in an attempt to demonstrate developments in the way buildings were viewed, and the way people changed how they perceived buildings, and even reality, through time. His chapter on medieval and Byzantine use of light and space in architecture relies on outdated interpretations, suggesting a desire to make the facts fit a desired result, with a corollary lack of critical reading. The volume evinces an impressive range of examples and interpretations, however--including the effects of colonization on Mesoamerica and of technology on Victorian England--and will certainly provoke discussion among budding architects and architectural theorists.
