Treacherous Transparencies: Thoughts and Observations Triggered by a Visit to Farnsworth House Hardcover – September 15, 2016

Not a very thoughtful critique of the iconic Farnsworth House, nor well written. It's more of a bashing of a dead architect's work for not designing to the same ideological principles as the authors. A waste of my time, offering no insights, just iconoclastic whining.

Exciting authors and title, but the material is mostly retreading old territories. More of a vanity publication than real new theory or ideas.

This is an intellectually thin book that doesn't say a whole lot. It is rather baffling coming from an Arcchitect whose work is very uneven. Some buildings are fine while other built works have greater problems than what they claim the Farnsworth has. Some of their projects have been riddled with massive cost over runs and law suits so I think that his comments in this meandering stream of conscious theory book is silly. I returned my copy for a refund.

Important book. Pointing out the qualities of the modern icon.
