How Buildings Learn

Buildings have often been studies whole in space, but never before have they been studied whole in time. bHow Buildings Learnis a masterful new synthesis that proposes that buildings adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants, and that architects can mature from being artists of space to becoming artists of time. From the connected farmhouses of New England to I. M. Peis Media Lab, from satisficing to form follows funding, from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style, from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth—this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory. More than any other human artifacts, buildings improve with time—if theyre allowed to. bHow Buildings Learnshows how to work with time rather than against it.Buildings have often been studies whole in space, but never before have they been studied whole in time.
