The book begins with a comprehensive biography, covering Moneo's education, teaching appointments, and encounters with historians and architects in Europe and the United States, such as Peter Eisenman, Jorn Utzon, and Bruno Zevi. Also included is a discussion of some of the buildings that he has designed, notably the Prado Museum extension and Atocha Station in Madrid -- UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1614/2015945632-b.html UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1614/2015945632-d.html ER -
