Architecture, we like to believe, is an elevated art form that shapes the world as it pleases. Four Walls and a Roof challenges this notion, presenting a candid account of what it is really like to work as an architect.
Drawing on his own tragicomic experiences in the field, Reinier de Graaf reveals the world of contemporary architecture in vivid snapshots: from suburban New York to the rubble of northern Iraq, from the corridors of wealth in London, Moscow, and Dubai to garbage-strewn wastelands that represent the demolished hopes of postwar social housing. We meet oligarchs determined to translate ambitions into concrete and steel, developers for whom architecture is mere investment, and the layers of politicians, bureaucrats, consultants, and mysterious hangers-on who lie between any architectural idea and the chance of its execution.
Four Walls and a Roof tells the story of a profession buffeted by external forces that determine—at least as much as individual inspiration—what architects design. Perhaps the most important myth debunked is success itself. To achieve anything, architects must serve the powers they strive to critique, finding themselves in a perpetual conflict of interest. Together, architects, developers, politicians, and consultants form an improvised world of contest and compromise that none alone can control.

评分#Two Hours in London Review Bookshop# It's about what does it mean to be an architect today. 难得有人跳出来写这个！当年Wigley说当下的建筑理论已经被fragmented到实践中，那这本书就可以看作是这种fragment的集合吧；可以直白谈论建筑学对自己的包装，说出我们喜爱一个建筑师是因为他摒弃我们所学，可以讨论盖里的房子是否算contextual，讨论为什么伦敦城市空间失去趣味，罗列日常看到多米诺原型那种神奇的mix feeling...建筑师到底都在想什么？“Nothing is wholly obvious without becoming enigmatic.” 那么建筑的谜是什么？
