Architecture Inside Out

"[The authors'] thesis that architecture needs to be grounded in the experience of the body, based on the actual use of the building and responsive to the site, is well illustrated; the book's photographs show the best contemporary design, from Itsuko Hasegawa's soothingly minimalist psychiatric hospital with a harbor view in Omuta, Japan, to Steven Holl's sensuously curved Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki."Karen A. Franck is the author of 'Architecture Inside Out' with ISBN 9780471984665 and ISBN 0471984663.
