Beyond Architecture

Beyond Habitat is beyond an architectural record. It offers a look into the life of a lucky and successful architect in the politicized realm of a government funded building. I thoroughly enjoyed not just the glimpse into Moshe's fascinating life, but also his views on where we might be going, architecturally and socially. I think the review from 1997 show's this perfectly, where life in the Americas has gone, and where, at one point, it may have gone. I encourage anyone with an interest in architecture, or anyone that enjoys an interesting biographical story to check this book out.
