2 comments about Guide to Cleveland Architecture.
- I bought this expensive book because I love urban architecture and Cleveland left me absolutely stunned. Let's get a few things straight here. Cleveland is a rust belt city. It has harsh winters and it's an industrial wasteland in areas. If you go to Cleveland and that's all you see, you're not looking hard enough. This medium-sized city includes the BEST ensemble of gorgeous American urban architecture of any other American city of similar size and condition, period. Better than St. Louis, better than Baltimore, better than Pittsburgh. If you love traditional urban architecture and the spiritual satisfaction of four seasons, visit this town and then buy the book as a souvenir. And after you visit you may come to understand why these old cities are making a comeback. Take some time to explore the city, from the monumental public buildings of downtown (go in!), to the institutions of University Circle, to the houses and churches of Cleveland and University Heights. You'll wonder why Cleveland is maligned so severely. It's truly an undiscovered, underappreciated treasure ripe for rediscovery. Bet you don't hear that often!
The book itself is about as good as any of these AIA guides, despite being somewhat dated. It's organized by building function, which is something I rarely see, and it includes only a partial selection of black & white photographs.
- This is a nice guide to a city that is much maligned. Many people don't realize all the wonderful buildings Cleveland has in her environs. This guide hits on all the famous buildings, I enjoyed this guide, but I wish it were more thorough, I felt areas like Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights got short shrift and they both have some wonderful residental architecture, especially Shaker Heights, descriptions are not enough, the guide needed pictures of these homes and schools. I hope in the revised edition that the authors give more time to Clevelands affluent suburbs, they are a treasure trove of residental architecture. Having said that I still highly recommend the guide to anyone interested in architecture, you will be surprised at what Cleveland has to offer, I know I was.

1 comments about Von Gerkan, Marg Und Partner: Bauten Buildings.
- This is not a book, this is a catalog. I don't like type of these books because they are not including any plan, section or detail. I think many architects will think like me....
Dont waste your money, just look at the web-site of architects...

- This book is full of vivid and interesting pictures, accompanied by informative text. Although it cannot substitute for experiencing Arabia in person, it is a rich and satisfying substitute.
