Summary: Greatest Hits
Comment: This is a great book for students and professionals alike. As a collogue once said, "A Hayes book is like buying a greatest hits CD, all the good things are there". Hayes compilation saves time by retrieving the most influential articles since 1968 and places them in one place, most with a preface to the article. Must have for any student. Pages are also east to underline and annotate in the margins.

Summary: No House of Cards
Comment: I praise Michael Hayes for his succinct and accurate notation and massive inter-article references. This text is the bible of a discipline that ostensibly began in the twentieth century, as self-conscious writing began to absorb architecture as a theme or subject.
Each successive wave of theorization about architecture contains similar elements of concern and patterns of approach, each multivalent through time or the pen of the author. Hayes gathers the contentious groups and individuals who have jumped into the fray of Architectural Theory and presents them neatly, their most salient essays all within one binding.

Summary: interesting info, but where are the graphics?
Comment: Very thourogh delvation into Arch. theory, but the lack of graphics sometimes makes this read a little slow. This book is however, a primer for Architectural education. If you are a student, professional, or just curious about how we got from Sullivan to Gehry in the last century, get this book!
