Quite the most accessible and striking book on architecture I've ever encountered, raved Keith Archer in the North London News after John Peter's oral history appeared in hardcover in 1994. Now this unprecedented work is available in paperback -- and it remains the only book of its kind.No other book offers extensive interviews with more than 60 of the master builders of modern times, and no other book comes packaged with a full-length compact disc, which lets us hear, in their own voices, renowned architects from Frank Lloyd Wright to I. M. Pei talking about the ideas and ideals behind their works. Complete with 200 photographs, plans, drawings, and models of the landmarks of modern architecture, this fascinating volume, says The Art Book, is a splendid addition ... it shoThis work presents interviews with more than 60 of the master builders of modern times. Conducted by the former modern living editor of Look and LIFE magazines, it contains the views of such luminaries as Frank Lloyd Wright and I.M. Pei, along with examples of their work.
