Reviews
"These lively essays by distinguished authors highlight both the importance of design history and Reyner Banham's highly influential contributions to that history. The book will introduce Banham's zany and original voice to a new generation of readers who may not yet know what a signal role he played in shaping our views of modern architecture, popular culture and twentieth-century design." Alice T. Friedman, Wellesley College "Reyner Banham could not have hoped for a better testament to his lively intelligence than the incisive essays in this volume. His impact on several generations of architects, designers, and scholars is more than evident." Victor Margolin, University of Illinois at Chicago "Banham's words accompany the reader throughout the book while his persona gradually emerges from the authors' anecdotes."
