Summary: Humanizing a modernist icon
Comment: While most monographs focus on raising an architect to that of a deity, the story of Rapson remains quite simply a story. Along with the drawings, buildings, and furniture which made Rapson famous (which is well displayed), a timeline of Rapson's professional and personal life allows the reader to gain more insight as to some of the formitive forces of his designs. As any purveyor or architecture may know, design is quite interdisciplinary, and often design descisions are based on firmly rooted 'everyday-life' ideals and experience, not solely as a spark of genious to the gifted few. This book reflects not only the genioius of Rapson's work, but also the real life story which had an equally profound impact.
