一本關於書的書。具體來說,是理查德和迪奧內·諾伊特拉珍藏的那些書——有題字、折角,並整齊排列在他們位於洛杉磯的VDL住宅內——這座現代主義住宅本身就是一個關於空間如何塑造思維的活生生論證。

這是作為自傳的建築:112頁索引了一個個人收藏,其中專業的執著、家族歷史和知識生活匯聚在同一個書架上。既是關於收藏行為的論述,也是關於建築師本人的論述——我們收集什麼,以及為何收集,道盡了一切。

與洛杉磯的Marta出版社合作出版,紀念Built In展覽。由傑夫·康薩里和班傑明·克里頓編輯。

一份體貼的禮物,獻給那些像他人閱讀小說一樣閱讀建築的人。

Owen E. ★★★★☆

I bought this after seeing the VDL House in person, and the book captures that same layered, lived-in feel. My only gripe is that a few of the smaller annotations are hard to read at the printed size. Still, a lovely thing to keep on the coffee table.

Leo T. ★★★★☆

The photos of the inscribed and dog-eared books inside the VDL House are the best part, and the captions actually explain why certain titles mattered to them. The text sections run a bit dry in the middle, but if you like architectural history it's worth the shelf space.
