The familiar and the unfamiliar in twentieth-century architecture / Jean La Marche.

Urbana : University of Illinois Press, ©2003.

145 pages : illustrations ; 27 cm

"The Familiar and the Unfamiliar in Twentieth-Century Architecture examines the work - written and built - of four seminal twentieth-century architects and firms: Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Aldo Rossi, and the partnership of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. In separate chapters devoted to analyzing the early writings and architecture of each architect or firm, La Marche uncovers assumptions that each makes about the ways they expect their works to be experienced. Matching the texts the architects wrote with the buildings they were designing contemporaneously, he focuses on the language employed in discussing the subject to reveal the author-architects' distinct voices and points of view."--Jacket.
