Summary:
If architecture fails, if it is pedestrian and lacks imagination and power, it tells only one story, that of its own making: how it was built, detailed, financed. But a great building, like great literature or poetry or music, can tell the story of the human soul. It can make us see the world in a wholly new way, change it forever. It can awaken our desires, propose(...)

But a great building, like great literature or poetry or music, can tell the story of the human soul. It can make us see the world in a wholly new way, change it forever. It can awaken our desires, propose imaginary trajectories, and say to a child who has seen little or been nowhere, hey, the world can be very different from what you ever imagined.

The ROM's architecture is a combination of many styles that reflect the times in which the individual buildings were designed, as well as the tastes of the ROM's leaders since the Museum's inception in 1912.

Summary:
The ROM's architecture is a combination of many styles that reflect the times in which the individual buildings were designed, as well as the tastes of the ROM's leaders since the Museum's inception in 1912. Although the approaches vary, the ROM has always strived to create an outstanding institution, and its bold architectural visions over the years embody this goal. The ROM's first building (1914) may appear quaint and relatively modest today, but it was a significant undertaking at the time, an audacious move for a city the size of Toronto to envision a structure comparable to those in London or New York. Daniel Libeskind's Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition of 2007 is the most recent expression of this spirit. This same impetus has made the ROM Canada's largest museum of natural history and world cultures, with more than six milion objects, in its collections and more than 1.5 milion visitors annually.

Summary:
This ambitious study uses the concept of the familiar and the avant-garde practice of defamiliarization to reexamine some of the most important buildings of the twentieth century. The Familiar and the Unfamiliar in Twentieth-Century Architecture examines the work--written and built--of four seminal twentieth-century architects and firms: Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Aldo Rossi, and the partnership of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. In approaching the history of twentieth-century Western architecture from the perspective of the architectural subject--the person architects imagine experiencing their work--Jean La Marche reveals new insights into the ways humans are imagined in relation to architecture.
