Summary:
This book consists of two parts. Within each chapter, the left-hand page shows the work of an artist and the right-hand page that of an architect. This device of presenting the work in pairs has been contrived to emphasize the remarkable degree of correspondence between art and architecture and to highlight the common conceptual and physical qualities of the projects. Throughout, designers, landscape architects and lighting engineers are included in the architectural category, as their working structures, contractually defined to provide a quantifiable design service to the client, are alike. The works are assembled according to their design concept and arranged in eight sections, which identify the most important characteristics of each project. 'Barometer' focuses on the connection of the work to its natural environment, and 'Passage' investigates the relationship of space perception to physical movement. 'Reflection' looks at the suggestive power of the double image, and 'Light' compiles examples of the material quality of luminous matter. The manipulation of our habitual point of view is the subject of the chapter called 'Observation', while 'Excavation', as the title suggests, deals with the exploration of negative space. The 'Sound' chapter reviews the pervasive presence of resonant structures, and 'Memory' is dedicated to the physicality of our recollections.

Summary:
Vittorio Gregotti's Inside Architecture is his first major work to be translated into English, examining theories of modernism and tradition and considering the architect's practice and cultural issues involved in creating models and working with ideas and buildings. Quite scholarly, but worth the effort for any studying architectural development.
