Without Rhetoric: Alison & Peter Smithson

Sin retórica (Without Rhetoric) compiles the findings of twenty years of research by the British architectural duo Alison & Peter Smithson, offering the reader a direct, unadorned perspective—"without rhetoric," in short—on their interests and obsessions: New Brutalism, British pop culture, the current state of architecture, the role of advertising and media in the field, their fascination with the work of Mies van der Rohe, the use of repetition, and Greek and Japanese architecture.
