Sommario/riassunto: | Origins of Form will make readers-especially those who design and build-aware of their physical environment. Williams' practical, no-nonsense approach and his exquisite drawings provide a clear understanding of what can and cannot be, how big or small and object should be, how its function will relate to its design, how its use will change it, and what laws will influence its development. |
