Review this book!

Entertaining and generally wise, but be forewarned, there are a few sexist comments in this book. I suspect that people who enjoy Peter Zumthor's THINKING ARCHITECTURE will also enjoy this, despite the differences in their work. This is a very good translation and contains b/w photos and plans. If you are going to read this, I suggest also reading GIO PONTI: 1891-1979, MASTER OF LIGHTNESS, which has examples of Ponti's work printed in color.
