Summary: From the Jacket - " Many factors determine the shape of a building - not, as many generally supposed, mostly arising from close attention to the provision of its utilities. This stimulation and unusual introduction to architecture suggests a new taxonomy building, grouping them according to their basic shapes. These shapes are closely elated to the available building materials and methods of construction ; which the builder chooses and why he chooses it are fascinating questions whose answers can be provide the whole history of architecture."
