Summary:

"Explore eight meditations by two learned architects whose readings have been assimilated into the architecture curriculum, and who are convinced that successful architecture is the result of culture and reflection, not extemporaneity. Juhani Pallasmaa and Alberto Campo Baeza's eight essays cut across time and fashion, covering "Beauty", "Light", "Time", "Memory", "Universality", "Wisdom", "Sacred" and "Essentiality". These two enlightened architects and kindred spirits, capable of uniting the North and South of Europe with their wise reflections, show how in order to be contemporary architects, it is necessary to confront the past"-- Provided by publisher.
