About This Item
Andreas Papadakis Publisher London 1999 . clipped ffep & sticker Removed 31.0 x 25.0cms, 208pp, b/w Illusts Fine Hard Cover This book explores the ways that the competing architect's drawings and words operate independently and in concert as rhetoric. It recognises that while the modernist architect promoted the 'new' and wanted to eradicate 'the old', 'the ugly' and 'the crooked' the pluralist wanted to support these features. But it also recognises that they always evoke 'the clean', 'the ordered' and 'the rational'.
