Just out of interest on a lighter note:
If you had to give someone enough information on architecture to bluff their way through a social gathering of architects or architecture junkies, what would you recommend they read?
The vocabulary is the key
here is a brief glossary in no particular order maybe others can add their favourites!space = room
powerful = big
monumental = vey big
trasnparent = use of glass but not realy transparent
sensitive = slavishly aping surrounding buildings (also see vernacular!)
sculpted volumes = funny shaped room
penthouse storey = an extra storeyhttp://www.madurodam.nl is good for a laugh.
