Architect Edward R.
Ford (Edward R.
Ford's 40 years of practical work and teaching have been focused solely on one area.
The very details of architecture.
Yet, despite two great works, countless articles, and lecture tours around the world from Vancouver to Vienna, he has never once answered this question.
“What is a Detail?” In this highly anticipated book, Ford presents readers with five universal (and yet very different) definitions of architectural detail, the result of his quest to find the essential definition.
Through a thorough investigation into the history of architecture, he finally reached a conclusion, and the answer will surely surprise you.
