Reviews

[Kathleen Quaintance · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love jencks and think he’s totally underrated in the world of architecture criticism and history writing. He can be wonderfully bitchy too. I love his little cat fight interviews in this I think it’s so fun and brilliant

My favorite of Jencks products(Andrei cringes). Massive amounts of neo-modern stuff with his typical organizational schemes (or justifications).
