520 ^aLeading architect Reinier de Graaf De Graaf punctures themyths behind the debates on what contemporary architectureis, with wit and devastating honesty. Architecture, it seems, has become too important to leave to architects. Nolonger does it suffice to judge a building solely by its appearance, it must be measured, and certified. When architects talk about ^"Excellence,^" ^"Sustainability,^" ^"Well-being,^" ^"Liveability,^" ^"Placemaking,^" ^"Creativity,^" ^"Beauty^" and ^"Innovation^" what do they actually mean? In Architect, Verb, De Graff dryly skewers the doublespeak and hot air of an industry in search of an identity in the21st century^"--^cProvided by publisher |
