Review Quotes:
"This reader came away with a deep understanding of the details of each building discussed--design as well as materials and engineering--and how passive cooling, fans, air ducts, and even mechanical floors (for example) influenced and altered the 'art' of building design. . . . This is an excellent complement to the modern architecture literature."
