Overview
Canadian historian and critic of architecture Collins (1920-81) tells the story of the encounter between a material, reinforced concrete, and the vision of a celebrated architect, Auguste Perret. This, his first book, was published in 1959 by Faber and Faber, but he came to broad attention only with his second, and his work has remained overlooked or ignored until recently.
