Hearts of the City: The Selected Writings of Herbert Muschamp
Hearts of the City: The Selected Writings of Herbert Muschamp

Architectural criticism meets cultural zeitgeist.

If architecture speaks to you, "Hearts of the City" is a trove you shouldn't overlook. Herbert Muschamp wasn't just about buildings; he wove architecture with pop culture, film, and personal narrative, making his critiques resonate with more than just architects. His passionate and approachable style could transform how you experience cities and their structures. Plus, discovering his support for now-renowned architects before they were household names is like finding hidden gems in the urban landscape.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
