Trade Review
“The reader is invited to pass from philosophy to architecture, from antiquity to the modern era, from Europe to America, from Herodotus to Tocqueville, from Descartes to Freud, to say nothing of references, explicit in these instances, to times when I frequented dark theaters, encounteredAmerica, its incomparable cities and spaces, and traveled to Berlin.”—from the Author’s Preface
