[Ahad Sheikh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wonderfully illustrative, the photographs are beautiful. I didn't find myself overly satisfied with the text that accompanies each set (of around 10 photos). I found it vague and not very descriptive in terms of the architects intention and the story behind the actual architecture.
