Hasan Fathy - a sadly very unrecognized architect; as my M.Arch tutor described him.
This book covers his background, theoretical approach, methodology, artistic and architectural works and their details pretty well. It moves between being a narrative of Fathy as a post-colonial, identity-seeking character in a tense environment and a descriptive account of his projects and their structural, social, and tectonic evaluation.
