worldsystemA

i have a memory of alan latham mentioning this book at one of our first lectures but he should have been more enthusiastic about it

rowland j mainstone's book was commissioned by riba to fill a major gap in the literature and it is full of original research, photographs and drawings. i picked it up as a reference in 'brick: a world history'

i started reading it after i was excluded from kiad and realised that i was learning architecture faster outside the shit heap than when i actually have to attend the piss poor lectures there
