Zoomscape: Architecture in Motion and Media

Rating:
Summary: A must read
Review: Zoomscape is a terrific read. Unlike most architecture books the writing is very accessible. Not too theoretical but engaged with important ideas nonetheless.
The book captures the way we move through the world. Its unique perspective on perception changed the way I look at architecture. Schwarzer helped me see in a way I hadn't seen before by making connections between so many things. The book weaves cultural and popular and historical elements into a coherent flowing story. I loved the way Zoomscape includes observations from literature, film, and cultural theory. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand architecture better and see how it is part of our daily lives. And since the book covers movement so much I felt as if I had gone on a journey myself.
