On Adam's House in Paradise: The Idea of the Primitive Hut in Architectural HistoryMuseum of Modern Art, 1972 - 221 pages "This new edition of On Adam's House in Paradise (first published by the Museum of Modern Art) incorporates all the original illustrations and several new ones, as well as additional text by the author. On Adam's House in Paradise "takes off backward through history hunting for Adam's house, the original image. En route, with wry wit and charm, Rykwert singes every generation of architectural theoreticians back to Vitruvius, but he manages to illuminate their efforts and their immolations." -- Charles Moore, Progressive Architecture. |
