Résumé:
Colin Rowe (1920–1999) was one of the great architectural historians of the twentieth century, publishing the influential works "The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa and Other Essays" (1976) and "Collage City" (1978). While his written work was rigorous and authoritative, his lectures and letters were more casual, "carefully careless, " both witty and erudite. This publication gathers twenty-three such writings—letters, essays, lectures, a postcard, and a eulogy. Both edifying and entertaining, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, occasionally scathing, they fill in personal details and clarify key concepts in Rowe's work. The author’s voice and opinions are strong in his discussions of architecture, current events, and his own life and work. The writings are illustrated by images of Rowe's drawings, letters, and postcards; photographs and drawings of Rowe's only built work; and illustrations chosen by Rowe for lectures.
