Margaret McCurry: Constructing 25 Short Stories

Rating:
Summary: Constructing a winner
Review: In this beautifully illustrated volume, Margaret McCurry, a Chicago architect, details the process of creating 25 projects, from homes and art galleries to a high rise office building. The book is valuable particularly for its discussion of the interplay between the architect and the client and the contributions each brings to the final design. A book for anyone planning to undertake an architectural project, or who has an interest in the process of creation. It's well written, in clear and often humorous detail.
