Last Futures: Nature, Technology and the End of Architecture

This book is a great addition to the library of anyone - historian, designer, researcher, enthusiast - interested in the architecture of the 1960s and '70s. Murphy is engaging and insightful as he traces connections between Brutalism, Megastructures, Buckydomes, canopies, and greenhouses in a story that effortlessly draws in media, technology, politics, and pop culture. It's an accomplished, highly readable account that will find many audiences to enjoy and make use of it.

This book could use images along with the long descriptions of buildings and landscape. This is a good read for those who are not deeply enveloped in architecture: a useful intro.
