He eloquently describes the Church of Sant’Ivo in Rome as a work that “embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination.” In his afterword to this new edition, Goldberger addresses the current climate in architectural history and takes a more nuanced look at projects such as Thomas Jefferson’s academical village at the University of Virginia and figures including Philip Johnson, whose controversial status has been the topic of much recent discourse. He argues that the emotional impact of great architecture remains vital, even as he welcomes the shift in the field to an increased emphasis on social justice and sustainability.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 197mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Paul GoldbergerGenre: Architecture & AntiquesBook Series: Why X Matters S.Release Year: 2023
