- Summary:
- The back cover carries one statement by the artist: "I don't have a style, I don't want one. I've fought against it my whole life." The volume is 9x13" and devoted entirely to images except for maybe a half dozen pages that offer context to some of the architectural projects. The artist's notebook sketches and paintings are displayed first, followed by photos of architectural projects, many shown in double-page spreads. Photos of project models and a section of drawings and plans complete the volume. Brief profiles of Massimiliano Fuksas (b.1944) and of Doriana O. Mandrelli, the head of his design firm, share the very last page. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
