4.0 out of 5 stars
Most important text on the city since Plato!,
By d - b (SanFro, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ladders (Architecture at Rice, 34) (Paperback)
Review #1:Wow! This book is the bestest! Albert Pope is swell! And he loves Farley's fruit snacks!! Hero Worship!
Review #2:Although I have never read this book, that is because here at Rice architecture it is in such high demand. (attention Rice library, supply?) The pieces of it which I have seen or read detail an objective analysis of the seemingly chaotic form of Houston. Pope forms the theory of a rational suburbia, although not a rationality of form (perhaps), but rational through the processes which it introduces into the lives of its inhabitants. The daily motions and movements which Houston imposes on its residents are exposed and itemized as a series of progressive turns which hold emotive as well as logistical separation and enclosure for the suburbanites. Hopefully I will hold it in such high esteem after I have actually read it. |
