Résumé:

"Following the 2022 International Conference on Architectural Criticism hosted by the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, Universidad de Navarra, this comprehensive set of essays covers the spectrum of issues that determine architectural quality. While quantitative and technical evaluations of buildings abound internationally, the qualitative assessment of architectural works has hitherto been neglected. This unique collection of definitions of architectural quality in the second volume in the series of CICA International Conferences, ranging from general observations and theories to case studies, lays a rigorous foundation for assessing architectural works"--Provided by publisher.
