Avec Christopher Alexander, Brian Hanson, Michael Mehaffy, Terry M. Mikiten. "Le roi est nu": ce vieil adage est définitivement approprié au triste cas du déconstructivisme, car ce dernier n’est rien d’autre qu’un modernisme déguisé sous une autre forme. Les modernistes, notamment ceux du Bauhaus, voulaient la table rase ; se débarrasser de tout l’existant, tout en revendiquant cependant certains liens avec le passé : le Parthénon (Jeanneret-Gris, alias Le Corbusier, etc.), le mouvement anglais Arts and Crafts (Pevsner, etc.) et le néoclassicisme prussien (Mies Van der Rohe), afin de donner une fausse parenté historique à leurs fins et à leurs créations. Aujourd’hui, ce sont les architectes déconstructivistes et leurs supporters qui se réclament de toutes sortes de liens et de précédents fumeux pour soutenir leurs travaux.

Summary:
More than a decade in the making, this is a textbook of architecture rich with design techniques and useful for every architect whether a first-year students or experienced practicing architects. The book teaches the reader how to design by adapting to human needs and sensibilities, yet independently of any particular style. It explains much of what people instinctively know about architecture, and puts that knowledge for the first time in a concise, understandable form. There has not been such a book treating the very essence of architecture.
