On Adam's house in Paradise;: The idea of the primitive hut in architectural history (The Museum of Modern Art papers on architecture)

by Joseph Rykwert

Book Overview

On Adam's House in Paradise "takes off backward through history hunting for Adam's house, the original image. En route, with wry wit and charm, Rykwert singes every generation of architectural theoreticians back to Vitruvius, but he manages to illuminate their efforts and their immolations."--Charles Moore, Progressive Architecture
