This is the second in a series of books devoted to distinguished architects of the Third World whose achievements would otherwise go unheralded. It contains copious documentation on Hassan Fathy, an accomplished Egyptian architect who has done work in public housing, village planning, and civic/religious architecture in his native land. Fathy highlights and refines that evocative mix of East and West, technological and vernacular, ancient and modernalways with an eye for climatic and local building conditionsthat characterizes the work of Third World designers. For larger architecture collections. Peter Kaufman, Suffolk Community Coll., Selden, N.Y.
