Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-02 00:00:00 Keith Thomas Enjoyed reading more about Mies. I didn't know that the Barcelona Pavillion related to a nearby classical building or that Mies allowed its columns to slip off of the grid when necessary. Also really enjoyed the Eileen Gray E-1027 house and it's relationship with Corb's Cabanon.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-22 00:00:00 Ryan Wiechens If you love reading about Ancient Egypt, you will love this book. If not, don't bother. I found it fascinating, as it gives a view of the nonroyal people and the Egyptian culture. These were the people who decorated the tombs of the Pharaohs. Not only do we have the remains of their town, but we have their tombs, and even documents. It is a fascinating look into a long-ago time.
