The almost ultimate book on the subject, Oct 1 2005
By Eugene Tenenbaum "reluctant reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deconstruction (Paperback)
Excellently edited and beautifully printed on a glossy paper with perfect illustrations and text showing and explaining everything you need to know about Deconstruction... in theory. Not many real projects - just a few. Almost all projects are studies by models, beautiful perspective renderings, views of interiors, site and floor plans, elevations, and many futuristic diagrams including collages. All very pretty though not necessarily fully clear.300 color illustrations, 264 pages, 10.2 x 12.2 x 1.2 inches, ISBN: 0847810666 (Rizzoli Paperback), 0847810631 (Rizzoli Hardcover), 0856709670 (Academy Paperback), 0856709964 (Academy Hardcover).
