[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

A 216 page book of German architects dicksucking periclean age Greek architecture and getting a raging hard on talking about its fitness for purpose and authenticity blablabal. Still a good rating cuz the synthesis of style mr Hübsch proposes could be characterised as an early version of “form follows function”, indubitably one of the most goated architectural principles.
