I now wish the title had been Complexity and Contradiction
in Architectural Form, as suggested by Donald
Drew Egbert. In the early 'bus, however, form was king in
architectural thought, and most architectural theory focused
without question on aspects of form. Architects seldom
thought of symbolism in architecture then, and social issues
came to dominate only in the second half of that decade.
But in hindsight this book on form in architecture complements
our focus on symbolism in architecture several years
later in Learning from Las Vegas.
