While most books on architecture concentrate on spatial themes, this book explores architecture's temporal dimensions. Through a series of close readings of buildings, both contemporary and classic, it demonstrates the centrality of time in modern architecture, and shows why an understanding of time is critical to understanding good architecture.
All buildings exist in time. Even if designed for permanence, they change, slowly but inevitably. They change use, they accrue history and meaning, they decay – all of these processes are inscribed in time. So too is the path traced by the sun through a building, and the movements of the human body from room to room. Time, this book argues, is the framework for our spatial experience of architecture, and a key dimension of a building's structure and significance.
Building Time presents twelve close readings of buildings and artworks which explore this idea. Examining works by distinctive modern architects – from Eileen Gray to Álvaro Siza and Wang Shu – it takes the reader, in some cases literally step-by-step, through a built work, and provides insightful reflections on the importance of 'making space for time' in architectural design.
This is a book for both theorists and for architectural designers. Through it, theorists will find a way to rethink the fundamental premises and aims of design work, while designers will rediscover the order and ideas that shape the world around them-its buildings, interiors, and landscapes.

比较喜欢Intro! 对行业的成见、自己为何选单个案例展开每个概念解释得很清楚。分析adolph menzel那张balcony room的画作里体现出来许多建筑家对当时居住空间的直觉非常有趣。关于王澍那章反而读来有点玄虚了…… :P 还见到一个超可爱的Lousiana Museum的分析，心想是不是美国也有值得火速去下的地方，定睛一看在丹麦，好吧。

Every present moment is mid-way between where one has been (but still recalls) and is going (already anticipates).老一辈凑字数就是靠这么扯的吗，很服气= =
