The Projective Cast: Architecture and Its Three Geometries Book

I first heard about this book from another book I read which was Stan Allen's 'Practice: Architecture, Technique and Representation'. Allen is currently the dean at the school of architecture at Princeton University and he spoke very highly of this book and prompted me to purchase it and read it for myself. The book discusses the process of architecture in a unique way: by looking through art history and in particular--perspective drawing and he talks about the relationship between the ways architecture has been represented and how this can determine/limit/expand the end result.

The book is a highly academic read and learned a lot I didn't know about architecture and art history which is slightly embarrassing as a graduate from Architecture school. As an architecture student I give this book five stars but unless you have an interest in art or architecture you probably won't enjoy this book that much.
