I have been waiting to read Alexandra Lange's
Writing About Architecture for a long time. I have read almost all the reviews
that I could find on the book published through the internet; one of my favorites was at the ‘A
Weekly Dose of Architecture’ by John Hill, which can be found in here. After reading the book, it still remains to be
the best source to get a glimpse of what’s inside. In many reviews and book
descriptions it has been pointed out that the book consists of six chapters: beginning with an article by a known
architectural critic followed by Lange's review and ending with 3 or 4 questions
to summarize or bullet point each chapter. Lange’s selection of articles provides the opportunity to scroll through different era critics within a hundred
year span, as well as through different gender point of views.
