Body and Building: Essays on the Changing Relation of Body and Architecture Edited by George Dodds and Robert Tavernor.MIT Press, 2002. 427pp. ?37.95
This weighty volume, based on a conference six years ago celebrating Joseph Rykwert's 70th birthday, is far more than a congratulatory festschrift. Between its front and back biographical wrappings are fascinating essays of lasting interest, to which a short review cannot do justice....As Rykwert has concluded elsewhere:'History can never teach us. But we may learn from it.' This book is an education.
