Technical but interesting
Though this was a required text for school, I find myself reading it weeks after finals. It assumes a basic knowledge of Architecture & isn't for the casual reader, but there's much good information to be had. Tends to make me want to travel to the places mentioned.

Thought provoquing and illuminating. Always analyzing architecture from the larger scope of society. Never apologetic nor reserved in her comments, the author comes out as a real person. Whether you agree or disagree with her, I prefer a book like this one than a nonjudgemental review of buildings trends and theories. Wonderfully illustrated, and very clear in most passages. I really enjoyed the analysis of public spaces.

This review is from: Architecture After Modernism (World of Art) (Paperback)
I have the luxery of learning under Diane, and this book is required for one of the 3 courses she teaches. What makes Diane and her work compelling is that she is able to use history to defend and defeat modern architecture. Clear and consise, Diane's work will follow the background thoughts of many future architects.
