5.0 out of 5 stars
This will be viewed as an important book in the 21st century,
By flemingr@philacol.edu (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Architecture of the Jumping Universe: A Polemic: How Complexity Science is Changing Architecture and Culture (Academy Editions) (Paperback)
In the coming century, this book will be known as ground breaking. In our culture, architects do not have the ability to look forward and see changing paradigms. This book successfuly outlines an emerging design paradigm for the 20th century. Unfortnately it dwells too much in style and not enough in substance when examples are used. The issue of green architecture and ecology which i belive are the heart of architecture's relationship to complexity theory are given very short chapters. Instead, Jencks focuses on stylistic expressions of chaos from the likes of Gehry and Eisenmann. Overall though, this is a book that every young, impressionable architect should read right away!
