Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Frank Lloyd Wright first noted the affinity between modern Western architecture and the philosophy of the ancient Chinese writer Laotzu. In this classic work, Amos Ih Tiao Chang expands on that idea, developing the parallel with the aid of architectural drawings and Chinese paintings. Now with a new foreword by David Wang, this book reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. Chang writes that these qualities make architectonic forms come alive, become human, naturally harmonize with one another, and enable us to experience them with human sensibility. <i>The Tao of Architecture</i> continues to be essential reading for understanding the intersection between architecture and philosophy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>"The measure of Dr. Chang's achievement is [in] its broad vision and insight. . . In sum, [this book] wonderfully repays the intense and difficult reading it demands."<b>--Alan Gowans, <i>Art Bulletin</i></b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An extremely captivating and thought-provoking essay.-- "Artibus Asiae"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Amos Ih Tiao Chang</b> (1916-98) was professor of architecture at Kansas State University.
