Buildings have often been studies whole in space; but never before have they been studied whole in time. How Buildings Learn is a masterful new synthesis that proposes that buildings adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants; and that architects can mature from being artists of space to becoming artists of time.From the connected farmhouses of New England to I.M. Peis Media Lab; from "satisficing" to "form follows funding;" from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style; from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth—this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory.More than any other human artifacts; buildings improve with time—if theyre allowed to. How Buildings Learn shows how to work with time rather than against it.

Not many gemsBy Light47I have enjoyed most of Rudolph Steiners books; however this is mostly pyscho babble.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. this is a great starting pointBy RoyTruly a unique book about color to supplement our very thin understanding from physics. If you want to approach color from its meaning perspective; this is a great starting point.
