Programs and Manifestoes on 20th-Century Architecture

I have owned this watch since its release 2 years ago, its really not as bad as its made out. The initial functionality was terrible but each update makes it better but don't expect it to be an apple or Android. Its comparable with G-shock and a good alternative. Battery life is 4 days +.For relating info' from phone to watch it works very well email, sms, notifications etc.... I use it on a motorbike so you can see who's calling, before answering.The main problem with dropping connections is phone related particularly in "battery saver" as it puts the BT to sleep, on the rare occasion that it freezes reconnecting the charge clip resets it.

I had to buy this book for an Art History class in college. The course was a general education requirment and I've never taken any other AH classes (I majored in the sciences). That being said, I only ever read the first chapter of this book and then never opened it again. I didn't even use it for any research papers in the course. The chapters are long and boring. Unless you have a good foundation in architecture, a lot of the terms go over your head. The books itself is more of a collection of works. Each 'chapter' is a different paper, so the subjects tend to hop around a lot.I feel like I can't accurately judge this book since I'm not too familiar with the subject matter - so I'm giving it 3 stars. If it's a text that is required for a course, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Chances are you probably won't use it. If you're just buying it to read up on the subject matter for fun, I would say go for it. Used copies are pretty cheap, so it's a good gamble.

This is an architecture theory book with short (couple of pages) writings by different authors (mostly architects and designers) that show the historical background of some of the architectural ides taught in school today. Some of the authors were not good writers so some of the manifestos are hard to understand but if red carefully you can get the main ideas.

Good Quality historical architecture text.

Great Copy, new, came quick. I'm satisfied

Essays from the architects that we look back constantly to design todays architecture.I really enjoy it, recommend it to anyone who has an interest in architecture

Read it!

Really interesting book. It shows how much more there is to architecture than just making functional buildings, It's an intellectual art.

Vey short excerpts heavily edited....little more use beyond the title

I ordered this book for an architecture class I was taking and found it very easy to read. Each "chapter" was specifically grouped into short sections - some just one page long! The book is small, light, and convenient to carry! If you're a fan of architecture, this is a nice read!

amazing book
