Architecture Has Been, And Must Continue To Be, Writes Alberto Prezgmez, Built Upon Love. Modernity Has Rightly Rejected Past Architectural Excesses, But, Prezgmez Argues, The Materialistic And Technological Alternatives It Proposes Do Not Answer Satisfactorily The Complex Desire That Defines Humanity. True Architecture Is Concerned With Far More Than Fashionable Form, Affordable Homes, And Sustainable Development; It Responds To A Desire For An Eloquent Place To Dwellone That Lovingly Provides A Sense Of Order Resonant With Our Dreams.

Prezgmez Examines The Nature Of Architectural Form In The Light Of Eros, Seduction, And The Tradition Of The Poetic Image In Western Architecture. He Charts The Ethical Dimension Of Architecture, Tracing The Connections Between Philiathe Love Of Friends That Entails Mutual Responsibility Among Equalsand Architectural Program.
