-Firmness, Commodite, and Delight-
This is a very good start for a journey in architecture. This is not only a chronological survey of architecture, but a study to understand how it effects our life during our being a human process. Book has two main parts. In the first part, Roth is explaining the deals with the main properties of architecture, with many examples. In the second part without a need to mention these basic properties of architecture, the sembolic meanings of it is analised. Reading advises given at the end of each chapter are showing new horizons. The glossary at the end of the book is making it possible to read without any other books for help.
