ISBN:  9780374211745 (hardcover) 0374211744 (hbk.) Description:  355 pages : illustrations 22 cm Edition:  First edition.

Requests:  0 Summary:  In "How Architecture Works," Witold Rybczynski, one of our best, most stylish critics and winner of the Vincent Scully Prize for his architectural writing, answers our most fundamental questions about how good--and not-so-good--buildings are designed and constructed. Introducing the reader to the rich and varied world of modern architecture, he takes us behind the scenes, revealing how architects as different as Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, and Robert A. M. Stern envision and create their designs. He teaches us how to "read" plans, how buildings respond to their settings, and how the smallest detail--of a stair balustrade, for instance--can convey an architect's vision.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 720 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 720 Rybczynski Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 720 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 720 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 720 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList
