 | Architecture from the Outside: Essays on Virtual and Real Space (Writing Architecture) by Elizabeth Grosz
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $12.55 This collection of essays was written by "an outsider" with no architectural education. I've always been surprised by the correlations that can be drawn between the study of architecture and the study of poetry. Form, lines, space, contect--these are all terms shared by those two fields of study. As a poet, I truly enjoyed where this book took my thoughts.
