This review is from: Peter Gisolfi Associates: Finding the Place of Architecture in the Landscape (The Master Architect) (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I saw it at a friend's home, and am personally familiar with one of the buildings depicted in it. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful review of architectural changes, September 14, 2008
This review is from: Peter Gisolfi Associates: Finding the Place of Architecture in the Landscape (The Master Architect) (Hardcover)
Gisolfi has successfully produced a volume which is so much more than documentation of grand architectural changes within the built environment. He has accurately illustrated the importance of sense of place and architecture's contribution to it in many American cities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with valuable design ideas, June 14, 2008
This review is from: Peter Gisolfi Associates: Finding the Place of Architecture in the Landscape (The Master Architect) (Hardcover)
Architect Gisolfi makes a compelling case for architecture designed to befit the landscape. Of all the arts, Gisolfi maintains, architecture should be most tied to its place. He decries building designs that value trendy style over compatibility with nature, and lauds those that exist comfortably with the environment. This handsome book is filled with examples of his work, showing in detail how he dealt with varied landscape settings. Lots of color photographs, plus diagrams and concept drawings that clarify Gisolfi's design themes. A worthwhile volume for any serious architecture library.
