Commissioning one of America`s foremost architectural photographers to shoot details of structures shaped like every letter of the alphabet sounds terribly pointless. Pairing each of the 26 pictures with a famous
architectural quotation might seem even hokier. Yet Diane Maddex,who developed and edited this book, has managed to pull these elements together into a pleasant little volume. Photographer Korab sought out the letter shapes in houses, bridges, fences and silos. The quotes range from Mies van der Rohe`s
”Less is more” to Robert Venturi`s ”I like complexity and contradiction in architecture.” A good, lightweight gift book.
