Description:Long overdue, this fresh, critical evaluation of Eladio Dieste, a leading force in post-war modern architecture, is the only book available on the subject.A Uruguayan trained as an engineer, Dieste made his mark on 1950s architecture with his innovative long-span vaulting systems for utilitarian structures.
