Bricks & mortals : ten great buildings and the people they made
Wilkinson, Tom2015
Book
We don't just look at buildings: their facades, beautiful or ugly, conceal the spaces we inhabit. These aspects of buildings - economic, erotic, political and psychological - are crucial if we are to understand architecture properly. And because architecture moulds us just as much as we mould it, understanding architecture helps us to understand our lives and our world. Through 10 great buildings across the world Tom Wilkinson reveals the powerful and intimate relationship between society and architecture and asks: can architecture change our lives for the better?
