Book of the Month- Unpacking My Library

UnPacking My Library

Well the we don't know if you ever heard the saying "Tripping without the luggage" meaning that you are spacing out or your are not all there.Well We hear at the club think that Architects have to have a little of that to come up with those unimagnable designs for buildings.Unpacking My Library provides an intimate look at the personal libraries of twelve of the world’s leading architects, alongside conversations about the significance of books to their careers and lives.” Through photographs of workspaces and bookcases (which we all love, right?) we get a glimpse of the architects lifestyle, personality, and intellectual leaning. Some of the architects included are Henry Cobb, Peter Eisenman, and Michael Graves. Each subject also provides a top ten of influential titles. Eisenman’s list features writing from Rem Koolhaas and James Joyce. This is a book to check out to get into the minds of thses architects to see what makes them tic so to speck.
