Reviews
Behind-perhaps below-all the learned esthetic and technical aspects of designing a building are a multitude of factors hidden in the hindbrain, says Moffett, primal aspects that remain rather vague and ill-understood and contribute to a sense of enigma. He focuses on these elements, dusting them off, lighting their dark corners, and revealing their own internal set of relationships. Beginning with forming, he discusses addition, replication, subtraction, deformation, dimensionalities, and formative hybrids. Then the turns to centering and covers limiting cases, linking cases, and centering hybrids. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. -- Annotation (c)2017 * (protoview.com) *

Author Information
Kenneth M. Moffett has been obsessed with art and architecture since his early youth. Upon graduation from the School of Design, North Carolina State University, he was awarded the Paris Prize for a year’s travel and study in Europe. After intern years with The Architects Collaborative, the firm established by Walter Gropius, a move to East Tennessee led to the founding of the architecture and planning firm BullockSmith, of which he remains Design Director. The firm has done a wide range of award-winning work nationwide and abroad. Numerous trips and conferences have enhanced his discernment of architecture and urbanism past and present—its errors as well as its achievements. He and his wife reside in the house he designed in 1977 and has added onto ever since. He engages in a wide variety of art, music, writing and community activities. His daughter, an artist, resides in London.
