BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Illustrated | Pages: 1216

Annotation: Volume 1, The Timeless Way of Building, lays the foundation of the series. It presents a new theory of architecture, building, and planning which forms the bsis for a new traditional post-industrial architecture, created by the people.

Read it for inspiration; as a practicing planner, an educator, or a student, you cannot help but be challenged and stimulated by this book.--Dennis Michael Ryan, Journal of the American Planning Association

Volume 2, A Pattern Language, is a working document for such an architecture. It is an archetypal language which allows lay persons to design for themselves.

I believe this to be perhaps the most important book on architectural design published this century. Every library, every school, every environmental action group, every architect, and every first-year student should have a copy.--Tony Ward, Architectural Design

Volume 3, The Oregon Experiment, shows how this theory may be implemented, describing a new planning process f

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Glossary, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 320

Annotation: "Will Quam shows that while the bricks that make up so many buildings in Chicago are inherently interesting, they also allow us to see the history of the city afresh. Simply looking-but really looking-at bricks reveals countless stories of the city's growth that have gone untold. Quam's infectious passion for the lowly brick and its history lets him range widely, casting his gaze across buildings of all types, from the famous and prominent to the vernacular and weird. He creates connections that might otherwise be hard to see, and he draws distinctions among buildings that seem practically identical-until you start looking through his eyes"-- Provided by publisher.
