Fung’s List

A Selection of Late 20^th Century Readings on Architecture and Landscape Theory

No list is ever complete. What is offered here is an assortment of items gathered over a number of years for a variety of purposes. The List gives some idea of the range of materials that students may draw on in their work during the semester, but some obvious works by key scholars such as Kolb, Harvey, Tafuri, Rykwert and Pérez-Gómez have been omitted. Each student is expected to exercise a choice—to read or not to read—and to cultivate their sense of relevance by making choices for the best development of their work in accordance with their needs and interests and in consultation with the teaching staff.
