About the author

Grant Hildebrand is Professor of Architecture and Art History at the University of Washington, Seattle, and the author of The Wright Space: Pattern and Meaning in Frank Lloyd Wright's Houses (1991).

Summary

Do survival instincts have anything to do with our architectural choices - our liking for a certain room, a special stairway, a plaza in a particular city? This book discusses ways in which architectural forms emulate some archetypal settings that humans have found appealing - and useful to survival - since ancient times.
