        			Moneo's insights and analyses are often brilliant, and hisperspective as a Spaniard and as a former chair of the GSD (Harvard Graduate School of Design) is a unique one. He conveys his ideas inlively prose, peppered with anecdotes.--Architectural RecordTheoretical Anxiety and Architectural Strategies in the Work of Eight Contemporary Architects...keeps the 'live' feel of a master performance. The result is an exacting but easy read that unfolds like a novel by Italo Calvino....Moneo moves beyond the common denominator of form to touch on the rich complexity of what architecture is. In the sense that architecture is between the lines, you have to read between the lines of this book.--Bernard Tschumi, The Architect's Newspaper
				    	
					
        		
        		
        	
        
        	
        		Synopsis 
        	
        	
        		
        			The internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo is known to be a courageous architect. His major works include the Houston Museum of Fine Art, Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College, the Stockholm Museum of Modern Art and Architecture and the Potzdammer Platz Hotel in Berlin. Now Moneo will be known as a daring critic as well. In this book, he looks at eight of his contemporaries - all architects of international stature - and discusses the theoretical positions, technical innovations and design contributions of each. Moneo's discussion of these eight architects - James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, Alvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas and the partnership of Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Meuron - has the colloquial, engaging tone of a series of lectures on modern architecture by a master architect; the reader hears not the dispassionate theorising of an academic, but Moneo's own deeply held convictions as he considers the work of his contemporaries. More than 500 illustrations accompany the text. Discussing each of the eight architects in turn, Moneo first gives an introductory profile, emphasising intentions, theoretical concerns and construction proce

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars

Top book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There no other one like Moneo. Not only as a critic
*by S***N on 17 December 2015*

There no other one like Moneo. Not only as a critic, teacher and architect. He is so great and writes so well about contemporary architecture that not only Tudela, Spain but the word does pretty well having people like him. This book is an essential read for architects and for those not rich enough to go to Harvard to have him as a teacher, for us the poor and normal architects in Europe this book is a must
