ArchitectureWeek Description
This book celebrates "larger-than-life"" events and explores the way they transform the way we see the world and how we connect with each other. Included is an interview with architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown and an essay by architectural critic Herbert Muschamp. "An empty stadium, an open field, or a busy urban thoroughfare, each — when transformed by spectacle — undergoes an alchemic process," says architect Rockwell, who strives to make such environments where people connect.
