The emerald city and other essays on the architectural imagination

In The Emerald City, Dan Willis takes us on a flight of imagination that paradoxically never strays far from the most tangible, even intimate, subjects. His essays range from the Tower of Babel to the Wizard of Oz, from Christo to Christmas trees, from the "lightness of being" to the "weight of architecture." The texts draw equally from literary sources, architectural practice, philosophical analyses, pop culture, and everyday experiences.
