This review is from: Conversations With Architects: Philip Johnson, Kevin Roche, Paul Rudolph, Bertrand Goldberg, Morris Lapidus, Louis Kahn, Charles Moore, Robert venturi (Paperback)

These candid interviews provide some insight into the design decisions and thoughts of the various architects, concerning their respective buildings. The discussions range from 'down to earth' (Goldberg and Lapidus), to flowery and cryptic (Johnson and Kahn). Some amusing anecdotes and bits of info serve to dispel any mystique surrounding these personalities.
