But, with this book, Robert Steinberg would like to help readers understand that architecture shapes lives. Architecture can help communities integrate and thrive. Architecture can touch us, influencing how we feel, and how we interact with others. In short, architecture can fundamentally improve our quality of life.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As a young graduate architect fresh from Berkeley, Steinberg began to discover the potential of architecture to shape communities. Working with his father, an architect who had studied with Mies van der Rohe (and whose father was also an architect), one of Steinberg's first projects was to draft and redraft a parking garage in downtown Silicon Valley, CA. As he mediated between the two architects in charge of the project--his father and the city architect--he noticed that with each evolution, the garage became more beautiful and refined. And with each improvement, this garage became more able to succeed in the goal of reviving the dying downtown core of Silicon Valley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The garage was a huge success, and Steinberg began to codify what he had learned. Thanks to the garage, he wrote the first of what would become the 9 Realities of Architecture: Architecture is the Pursuit of Perfection -- a magnificent take-away from a humble parking garage project. As Steinberg eventually rose to become CEO of his firm and grew it into a global practice with six regional offices including Austin and New York, and a major office in Shanghai, he used his drive for creating thriving communities to eventually touch the lives of countless people around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Steinberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954081316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954081314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oro Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.90w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022","brand":"Robert Steinberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44050809651455,"sku":"9781954081314","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0fbb898a-2d02-4010-8031-d210ed9ed851.jpg?v=1685009377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-architecture-tells-robert-steinberg-9781954081314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
