About This Book

Describes and elucidates a phenomenology of architecture, landscape and culture. Uses philosophy, aesthetics and formal analysis to present three primary modes of building and dwelling (drawing upon Heidegger): Romantic, Classic and Cosmic. Highly recommended!

Editorial Note

Takes Heidegger's philosophy of dwelling and turns it into a way of reading real places.
