I read this book over thirty years ago when I was an architecture student at the University of Oregon and had a dificult time undestanding the text. I tried to read it again about ten years after graduation and couldn't develop any excitement or enthusiasm for the book. It is very difficult to understand and is written in somewhat tedious style.
