Complicity And Conviction: Steps Toward An Architecture Of Convention. HUBBARD, WILLIAM.: 7424X1 First Edition. The MIT Press, Cambridge: 1980. 260 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket and protective mylar covering. Very good condition. Argues that both modernism and postmodernism impose restrictive forms on people, modes of order that do not grow out of human vlition but are dictated by extrapersonal forces to which we must conform. The book then seeks to rescue architecture from the failure of nerve that led to this imposition by taking a fresh look at convention - not as a mindless habit but as a realistic means of giving concrete form to human values. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0262081067 $32.75USD
