The Tao of Architecture by Amos Ih Tiao Chang
Presents a contemplative essay that develops a parallel between void, space, time, and the science of vision in Laotzu's philosophy and modern architecture. This book reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. It states that these qualities make architectonic forms come alive and enable us to experience them with human sensibility.
"An extremely captivating and thought-provoking essay"--Artibus Asiae
