essential architectural reading
combining both a sensual and analytical appraisal, this book communicates the aesthetic values by which this author believes architecture can be comprehended. An optimistic book predating the excess of postmodernism and strong on sensitivity.

After Lego
Experiencing Architecture was a basic text in my first year of design school; the principles that I learned from it have followed me ever since.

Rasmussen takes the visual world apart and taught me to see things in their simplest forms. His commentaries on form, texture, and massing heightened my appreciation for all forms of design; his discussion of color--for one who is colorblind--provided a life-long guidedog.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wanted to pioneer the Lego curriculum at university--
