Book Synopsis Reconstructing Architecture for the Twenty-first Century by : Anthony Jackson
Book excerpt: Jackson exposes the inadequacies of old conceptions of architecture as embodying metaphysical properties, and of architects as the sole keepers of this esoteric knowledge. He challenges architects to acknowledge and celebrate building as an expression of the ideals and values of the broader-based classless communities to which they now belong.
