520 _aThis is a great book that bridges the gap between the formal and aesthetic aspects of architecture and its `materiality', which is often neglected in the historical and theoretical analyses of architectural projects. In this wide ranging and fascinating essay that moves across different cultures and historical periods, Richard Weston weaves a compelling and fascinating story that makes connections and comparisons between the various ways builders and architects have used different materials, subject of course to different climatic and regional factors.
