Krátky popis
A Financial Times Best Book of the YearA Guardian Best Architecture
Book of the Year",Sharp, revealing, funny.",-The Guardian",An
original and even occasionally hilarious book about losing ideals
and finding them again... [De Graaf] deftly shows that architecture
cannot be better or more pure than the flawed humans who make
it.",-The EconomistArchitecture, we like to believe, is an elevated
art form that shapes the world as it pleases. Four Walls and a Roof
turns this fiction on its head, offering a candid account of what
it's really like to work as an architect.Drawing on his own
tragicomic experiences in the field, Reinier de Graaf reveals the
world of contemporary architecture in vivid snapshots: from the
corridors of wealth in London, Moscow, and Dubai to the demolished
hopes of postwar social housing in New York and St. Louis. We meet
ambitious oligarchs, developers for whom architecture is nothing
more than an investment, and layers of bureaucrats, consultants,
and mysterious hangers-on who lie between any architect's idea and
the chance of its execution.",This is a book about power, money and
influence, and architecture's complete lack of any of them...
Witty, insightful and funny, it is a (sometimes painful) dissection
of a profession that thinks it is still in control.",-Financial
Times",This is the most stimulating book on architecture and its
practice that I have read for years.",-Architects' Journal
