Kissing Architecture (Point: Essays on Architecture)
"Informed, contemporary conversations on architecture presented in this format are sure to engage critics, historians, practitioners, artists as well as the general public. For the architect long out of school, yet still passionate about the profession, this series of extended essays should be a welcome addition to their reading lists."--Donna Wax,New York Journal of Books"The book's arguments are framed by well-chosen, nicely illustrated case studies. . . . [T]he book presents important and relevant ideas that deserve consideration."--Choice"[Lavin] smartly keeps her writing light, playfully drawing out her extended analogy of kissing throughout the book's four sections. If this is your first rendezvous with Lavin, I hope that she will soon become one of your steadies. . . . May you fall madly in love."--Elissa Favero,Yellow Umbrellablog
