Glancey J., Whats so great about the Eiffel Tower?. 70 questions that will change the way you think about architecture — 2017
Аннотация: You may never look at architecture in the same way again once you start questioning the critical legacy of some of the greatest architects and engineers through time and from around the world. Through 70 engaging, thought-provoking and often amusing debates, take a fresh look at the reputations of the masterpieces and great architects in history! Why do we find the idea of a multi-coloured Parthenon so shocking today? Why was the Eiffel Tower such a target for hatred when it was first built? Is the Sagrada Familia a work of genius or kitsch? Why has Le Corbusier, one of the greatest of all architects, been treated as a villain? This book examines the critical legacy of both well known and either forgotten or underappreciated highpoints in the history of world architecture.
