Description

Architecture begins to matter when it brings us joy, sadness, perplexity, and awe. In "Why Architecture Matters", Paul Goldberger explores how great buildings can evoke powerful emotions and reflections on human imagination. From the intimate charm of a small Cape Cod cottage to the grandeur of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie houses, Goldberger shows us how architecture can be both beautiful and thought-provoking. He also examines the evolution of architectural history, including recent shifts towards social justice and sustainability. In this new edition, Goldberger reflects on the current state of architectural history, offering a nuanced perspective on projects like Thomas Jefferson's academical village at the University of Virginia and the work of Philip Johnson.
