Περιεχόμενα:
Περίληψη: The usual history of architecture is a grand narrative of soaring monuments andheroic makers. But it is also a false narrative in many ways, rarely acknowledging the personal failures and disappointments of architects. In Bleak Houses, Timothy Brittain-Catlin investigates the underside of architecture, the stories of losers and unfulfillment often ignored by an architectural criticism that values novelty, fame, and virility over fallibility and rejection. -- Publisher's description.
