London: Thames and Hudson, 1991. Hardcover. Good Condition. Dust jacket is fully intact, only lightly rubbed at edges. Clean and fresh contents mostly. Overall, a good used copy. Publisher's note: 'Robert Harbison reads architecture as one would read poetry for meaning. Meaning, he finds, resides especially in those works of architecture that are unnecessary, having outlived their physical functions or never having been intended to have any. Gardens, monuments, historic fortifications, and ruins are among the examples he uses to reveal the secret meanings of this architecture "freed from function."'
