Description: This thoughtful study thoroughly examines the relationship between architecture and language as complex social practices. The words we use for architecture describe more than just bricks and mortar―they direct the ways we think of and live with buildings. Six chapters and a vocabulary of key terms investigate the language of modernism; language and drawing; “masculine and feminine” architecture; language metaphors; science in architecture; and the social properties of architecture.
