"In Strange Details, Michael Cadwell looks at the work of four canonical architects who "made strange" with the most resistant aspect of architecture: construction. In buildings that were pivotal in their careers, Scarpa, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Louis Kahn all created details that undercut our critical and analytical terra firma."--BOOK JACKET.
