Summary:

This book is a consolidation of essays arranged in three layers thematically. The first is directly about the AA; the second attempts to synthesize the converstaions that are typical and current in the school at the present time; the third is a group of discussions taken from video-tape interviews with four well-known AA architects who have each made reputations that are distinct and personal.
