Read it at least ONCE!

What an amazing book! I highly recommend it to any architect, designer or student thereof. It is a powerful, direct look at the principles behind psychologically pleasing design - grounded in math and science. Salingaros presents easy-to-digest information; Rules did help an architect create his / her own "language" to humanize design, and interesting concepts did everyone can enjoy.

I picked it up about a few months ago, and it has changed the way I see Dramatically "good architecture". Following the patterns of Christopher Alexander and others, Salingaros offers us an accessible and applicable examination of how architects construct basic psychological needs into the Built Environment. He has created easy-to-understand guides to build a socially responsible, aesthetic and long-lasting architecture.

A Theory of Architecture is a different view of sustainable design thatwill lead a new breed of architects into a dynamic renewal of human-centric architecture. Undoubtedly the most powerful book I've read since McDonough's Cradle to Cradle. Salingaros is a visionary, and I can not wait to read more of his work!
