The Look of Architecture

by by Witold Rybczynski

This is a book brimming with sharp observations; that form does not follow function; that the best architecture is not timeless but precisely of its time; that details do not merely complement the architecture; details are the architecture. But the heart of the book illuminates the connection between architecture, interior decoration, and fashion. Style is the language of architecture, Rybczynski writes, and fashion represents the wide cultural currents that shape and direct that language. In The Look of Architecture, Witold Rybczynski makes a compelling case for the importance of style to the mother of the arts.
