Contributions from architects, theorists and historians such as Aldo Rossi, Alan Colquhom, Leon Krier and Denise Scott Brown, amongst others, are included.

4.0 out of 5 stars
necessary,
By gdamiani@stud.iuav.unive.it (Venezia, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oppositions Reader: Selected Essays 1973-1984 (Hardcover)
a great project, a necessary book to understand the Seventeens, not only in the architecture, not only for architects.
