Henry N. Cobb: Words & Works: 1948-2018 is his first book, uniquely combining poetic analyses of his distinguished works with essays, interviews, and transcripts of lectures and convenings that cover the gamut of topics about architecture's past, present, and future. A longtime educator--and chair of the Harvard Graduate School of Design from 1980 to 1985--Cobb takes up his extensive subject matter in a characteristically thoughtful and engaging manner. The book is packaged as a gem; a modest, portable trim size that harks back to the classic Library of America series. To anyone interested in the development of American architecture in its transition from modernism to postmodernism and into the era of high-tech starchitecture, there are a number of treasures here to discover. Henry N. Cobb is a landmark survey--in works and words--of one of the great architects of our time.
