Medieval London Houses
Martin has written a difficult book. Pity, because he's got some great things to say about the architecture he considers here. His thesis - that the curtain-walled corporate architectures of Saarinen, Bunshaft and others represents the networked structure of the corporations that commissioned them - is obscured by so much paranoic research that it's difficult to sift.
Martin frames it as a battle between his "organizational complex" and entropic chaos. Ultimately, entropy must prevail, represented for Martin most pointedly by the space warp scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
This book provides a worthwhile, if dense, read on an intellectually-overlooked episode in modern architectural history, tying it with strains of thought and action common in their time.
