I read this book back in2005 and now again just for fun. There is nothing wrong with this book, it's just out-dated. Back in 2003 this probably was a fine architectural book, but today it's way too formal, too clumsy, and too ivory towery. The best part of this book is its table of contents, it's well laid out and applicable even today - if one just swaps in some more modern techniques. I personally found the writing somewhat distanced and humourless.

I read this book around the time I started university and after my high school. I admire the author for putting the entire architecture story in such a fluent and simple to follow story.
