<br/><br/> "This volume developed out of a wish to provide architecture with an existential foundation. Therefore, the being of man in the world, and in particular, the spatial aspects of his presence, are taken as points of departure. The first three chapters deal with the being of man in the world under the titles of use, comprehension, and implemenation. The following three chapters explore the dimensions of this language under the titles of typology, morphology, and topology. The last three chapters serve to illustrate the application of the language of forms in vernacular, stylistic, and modern architecture."
