A statement on Witold Rybczynski’s web site mentioning a few topics of interest to him :
“I don’t write to promote an idea, or to advance a grand theory. Mostly I’m just curious about how things work. Why are our cities the way they are? Why does one building move us when another doesn’t? Why do some cultures live in houses, and some don’t? Who invented the weekend? Where did the screwdriver come from? For me, writing is a way of exploring a subject that intrigues me—and hopefully will also interest you, the reader.”
Listen to this author, educator and architect discuss his most recent publication…I believe his ideas will be captivating!
