{PRETITLE} Allan Greenberg: Classical Architect {POSTTITLE}

When I buy a book on the internet, I guide myself by the description of the book, the Editorial Reviews but mostly by Customer Reviews. But when I heard about the launch of a Allan Greenberg's book, an architect whose work I admire very much, I did not think twice and pre-ordered it. The book arrived last week and it was a disappointment. The texts are brief, photographs, though well taken, are basically the same as you find in his website and there are no floor plans. I should have waited for the reviews, because it seems that the other buyers reviews are the same as mine. My recommendation: save your money.

Allan Greenberg is a talented architect who works within the classical tradition. I was looking forward to a good monograph on his work, but this was not what I was expecting. While beautifully produced and photographed, the book lacks a basic feature of a fine architectural book - drawings. There are no plans, elevations or sections of any buildings, except for a handful of enlarged design drawings that focus on areas such as staircases and entrances. Construction and materials are not addressed, except through photographs. Perhaps this may be excused for some of the residential projects due to privacy concerns, but not for the public buildings. Without plans, one cannot see how this architect resolved the demands of symmetry and the classical language of architecture with the demand of modern programs. I am not sure of the intended audience or purpose of this book. It is not an architectural monograph, because it lacks the essential elements one expects in a monograph. Perhaps it is simply intended as marketing to potential clients - but sophisticated clients who would have the means to afford one of Greenberg's buildings would appreciate plans as well. I returned the book.
