Ok there are many threads on book recommendations, but one only has so much time to read all of them.
If you had only one book on architecture, design, philosophy, or any topic that has had a profound impact on you, your career, development in this field, which would you recommend?
fyoosh, there was a question like that on a violin forum (one score on a tropical island) and there was, at least, an obvious cheater's answer to reach out for, Bach's sonatas and partitas (tuning would be a near impossibility, all these chords...all this humidity).
you know, people here are funny. ask them what features they want in a dream house, and they start making fun. ask them what sole book they would choose over all others, and they're serious about their choices.
Yes tammuz Ironically the Antinomies (and Galileo tells us that this is the case) exclude the possibility of the phenomena, because of our necessary ignorance of the conditions. So we can extend collegial interfaces
