Great mid century architecture.
Although this book did feature buildings and houses of some of the more famous architects who worked in desert what I liked more about it was that it featured structures built by lesser known modernists. It was nice to see how their vision differed from their more famous compatriots. I also thought the photography was shot very nicely and helped showcase the architecture.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
