Insights come from everyday places and famous landmarks: some beautiful, some the product of fine craftsmanship, some active places of gathering or commerce, some quiet places of contemplation. All stayed in the author's memory, helping build the framework of his understandings of what is important to people in architecture and cities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganized chronologically, the book begins with the author's encounters with buildings and places as a child in New York, and leads to his most recent architectural experiences as a seasoned professor, scholar and traveler. Each encounter is explained on two or three pages, that bring out the reasons for its significance and the lessons learned from it. Readers are encouraged to look for themselves and see how the places they encounter in their everyday lives and travels can enrich their own understandings about the built world that surrounds them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with beautiful photographs, drawings and diagrams, the book will interest people outside architecture who are fascinated by buildings and cities, as well as teachers, practitioners and students of architecture and cities \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032976330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032976334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.93h x 6.78w x 1.11d","brand":"Howard Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48174820622591,"sku":"9781032976334","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b5a1495-ce73-4101-9c0f-eeea338e9121.jpg?v=1771330745","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encounters-with-architecture-howard-davis-9781032976334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
