Review title: An absolute must for any student of architecture.
Product review: Hertzberger clearly exposes the anatomy of architectural and urban elements and analyzes them for the student with direct references to architectural precedents. What helps make this book a masterpiece for the student is the diversity of his examples; examples culled from living Western and Eastern cultures as well as elements of his own archtitectural works. The book focuses on form and plan derived from human experience and need: both physiological and psychological. What sets this text apart from other works is that rather than teach style, Hertzberger uncovers the symptoms which generate form, allowing the student to develop his own tectonic vocabulary.
