Comments

Joshua Leeger: The other Case Study book is multilingual, with a difficult physical format, and roughly the same amount of photos as this one. This book in itself encapsulates the Case Study feel much more than that one - succinct, clear, as the title of the review says...

Anna: El libro se merece 3 estrellas pero por el precio le doy una más. Lo he comprado para inculcar cultura arquitectónica a los niños. De la misma editorial hay varios libros de arquitectura que están bien en plan introductorio. Me gusta la selección que muestra aunque podría ser mejor en plan fotos y planos.
