Summary:

"In this thought-provoking book, Richard Hill examines the many-faceted relationship between aesthetic theory and architecture. Grounding his arguments in the practical issues related to building - the demands of site, materials, labour force, the nature of the commission - Hill expands our understanding and enjoyment of architecture, while offering especially valuable insights for students of architecture and the history of architecture."--Jacket.
