Architecture Without Architects: A Short Introduction to Non-Pedigreed Architecture
$20.00
Rudofsky, Bernard. Doubleday & Company, 1964. Softbound. The book that accompanied Rudofsky's paradigm-shifting architecture exhibit at MoMA. Beautifully imagined, it spotlights indigenous structures and also extends the definition of architecture to encompass sites sculpted by nature. 'Yet even before men and beasts walked the earth,' Rudofsky writes in the book's introduction, 'there existed some kind of architecture, coarsely modeled by the primeval forces of creation and occasionally polished by wind and water into elegant structures.'
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Light to moderate edge-wear, light toning, and a few small areas of light creasing and soiling to the covers. 156 pp. Architecture.
