Round Buildings, Square Buildings, and Buildings That Wiggle Like a Fish

Round Buildings, Square Buildings, and Buildings That Wiggle Like a Fish by Philip M. Isaacson, published by Random House Children's Books in 2016.

What do we see when we look at a building? From the classical Parthenon in Greece to the simple fisherman's shacks in New England to the post-modernist Pompidou Center in France, Philip Isaacson explores what gives buildings their character. From the materials, form, color, ornamentation, placement in the landscape and the way the light strikes them, there are so many elements that contribute to shaping architecture into art. This is a perfect introduction to the complexities and wonders of architecture for children and adults.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves home and interior design.
