About the Author :
Nathaniel Coleman is a reader in History and Theory of Architecture at Newcastle University, UK. He previously taught in the US, and practiced architecture in New York City and Rome. He is the author of Lefebvre for Architects (2015), Utopias and Architecture (2005), and editor of Imagining and Making the World: Reconsidering Architecture and Utopia (2011).

Review :
We have always felt that interpretation of architecture is best left to others and perhaps best done posthumously! Nathaniel Coleman's writing is both deeply thoughtful but more importantly to us – deeply sensitive. As it describes our intentions for the Folk Art Museum it makes us better understand ourselves and the work itself. His writing has opened us up and has made us change our minds – and perhaps that is the most powerful act a writer can achieve. An outstanding work that I would recommend to my students, colleagues, and practicing architects. Materials and Meaning in Architecture reminds readers of the extensive scope of the discipline and its intimate relation with everyday life.
