1977 Softcover Broschiert Zustand: gebraucht - sehr gut, The opening quote is by Seneca from 4 B.C. "That was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders." We humans have sought and made safe spaces to reside in ..since our beginning. This book is an elegant deep look at how we formed spaces that suited us. The beauty,ingenuity and talent of these architects...who have been taught by their group to carve, coil, and thatch a house of their own...is utterly inspiring. Most are pure sculptures using the indigenous humble materials and yet allow you to live inside. I was riveted to this book as a sculpture student, great images...nice & grainy as this book is from the 70`S. I count myself lucky to have this on my shelf as it has been out of print for ages. Rudofsky has creative ideas, enthusiasms and connections that open your mind in new ways. It is a book I treasure and go back to over and over as an artist. Do not hesitate buy this book if you can.

This is the big one! A follow up to his MoMA exhibit and book Architecture without Architects, this is far more comprehensive. Here Rudofsky is able to expand upon his point and really begin to express his general anti-cultural attitude (as perhaps expressed by the book's lengthy subtitle). Great stuff! Review - M.

From dust jacket notes: "...Here, Rudofsky displays his genius for seeing and explaining the meaning of vernacular architecture - the dwelling, fortifications, tombs, monuments, and countless other adaptations that constitute the global legacy of untutored men both ordinary and extraordinary: the 'prodigious builders.' The author's discussions range from China's floating villages to the cultural significance of doors and windows in various parts of the world; from a Polish salt mine so vast as to be a self-contained community complete with churches, restaurants, and a narrow-gauge railway, to the African Dogon's 'Big House,' whose parts collectively symbolize a man procreating; from the ingenious pre-technological alternatives to air-conditioning, to giant observation kites. In each case Rudofsky brings to his subject a singular blend of erudition, wit, and insight that makes the exotic seem logical and the commonplace bizarre....Rudofsky's cogent arguments are amply documented with over 100 of his unparalleled photographs, in addition to many more rare engravings and other illustrations. The total effect is to expand far beyond dictionary definitions our concepts of both architecture and the human spirit.", Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1st, Label: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1977-08-01, Studio: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Verkaufsrang: 1154699.
