### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent and Accessible Architectural Overview
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2004*

I am interested in architecture as a hobby, and as a potential career at some point in the future, so the perspective I had when reading this book was that of an informed amateur. I can't praise this little book enough. In its pages are the best explanations and analyses of contrasts, textures, shapes, and colors that I have seen in one single, condensed location.Originally published in Denmark in 1959, and therefore lacking some of the more contemporary and postmodern design trends, this is an invaluable analysis of primarily European design through the mid twentieth century. This book is profusely illustrated with black and white photographs (most of which were taken by Rasmussen himself) and a fair number of drawings, all of which greatly assist the reader with his understanding of the material.Specific buildings mentioned are too numerous to list, but the run the gamut from St. Peter's basilica in Rome, to the haunting and sinister Palazzetto Zuccari (also in Rome), to the ultramodern Johnson Wax Company building in Racine, Wisconsin by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the very modern study in open spaces found in the Copenhagen Police Headquarters (one of my personal favorites.)This would be a useful guide to architects, and is the single best introduction to historical architectural style that I have yet found. Anyone with even a passing interest in architectural design or history would love this book.

    Experiencing a Fascinating Book
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017*

Recommended to my by an architect, this classic is readable,concise (enough) and  (very) enjoyable. And it WORKS!  on my first walk around the Upper West Side  to pick up my grandson,I found that I was seeing and appreciating aspects of NYC  architecture that I had never noticed nor considered.  A suggestion that I believe improved my enjoyment of the book:  google the images  of the illustrations. I zoomed in on the black and white Kindle illustrations,which helped,but when I started  googling the images and viewing them in color and with better photography i increased my viewing enjoyment by  precisely 273%,  and my understanding of what the author was  saying by 57.4%.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    after 50 years, still one of my favorite books on Architecture
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021*

This lovely book inspired my passion as a sophomore in architecture school. Now as a retired architect after over 40 years of practice, I return to it with great pleasure.
