All book reviews must be typed, double-spaced (indented quotes

yourself enough time to prepare more than one draft, as editing
and rewriting always enhances the quality of your work. Make
sure to use a printer whose type and tone are easy to read.
This assignment is designed to help you develop your own
critical skills at understanding and analyzing architectural
literature. However, neither endless quotations, nor an
interpretation based totally on uninformed personal impressions
will be adequate.-
You will pick two books that are related by a common theme. To
find books with comparable topics, you will obviously need to do
a thorough library data search. You should then skim the books
you have located to select those books most appropriate for
comparison. The books you choose must be serious academic
works that attempt to address significant issues in architectural
history or urbanism.
Your review should begin with a succinct discussion of the
common theme and a very brief introduction to the works you
will consider. Then you should consider the following aspects of
each publication. Briefly present the subject matter that is
covered in each book but avoid listing the contents of each work
at length. What are the central theses or issues presented by
each author? Does the book thoroughly address the issues it
engages? Are there pertinent issues that have been slighted or
ignored in the book? What is the projected audience for this book
(general public, academics, architects)? What are its production
values (quality of printing, photographs, etc.)? How clear and
interesting is the text? Comparing quotes from each book on the
same building or theme could reveal significant differences in the
authors’ styles and methods.
You need to remember that you are writing an integrated essay
that compares the merits of the works you are considering. Your
conclusion will thoroughly discuss the relative value of each book
to your understanding of the topic. You must explain the reasons
for your criticism or praise for each book. Merely saying you
loved or hated a book is not enough. Also, be careful not make
the books victims of your own prejudices or preconceptions. You
must be reasonable and avoid judging a book by impossible
standards.
