For anyone who loves architecture and Italy... this is the perfect small gift. Ponsi is an architect who works in Florence and engages it as an artist. His sketches and watercolors enrich a personal account that addresses the historic monuments but, still more, the topography and textures of the city, its labyrinthine streets and Platonic geometries. --Form: Pioneering Design Florence: A Map of Perceptions is the perfect walking companion to take on a stroll through Florence and is sure to please both long-time residents and new visitors to the city. --theflorentine.net Reading Andrea Ponsi's book about Florence is like taking a walk with a wise and sympathetic friend who knows just what to say to get you to see what he's seeing.
