Ha! I’m halfway through this book now. Fascinating engineering and experimentation this man did. Now engineers rely completely on mathematics and unfortunately & sadly, liability.
I’m usually not into fiction, but novels “that are elevated through devious architecture at the heart of each story” are definitely works that I must look into. I feel also very curious now about Félix Candela’s work, which I was not familiar with at all. Thank you, sir!
Ditto on the crime fiction; I usually don't go there, but they sound intriguing. I didn't have the time or space to include it, but Yale UP's monograph on Candela published in 2008 is also good—a more sweeping survey than Eisenschmidt's book, focused as it is on the 1970s.

Yes, his intuitive and experimental approach was certainly an anomaly compared to today.

Noted. Thank you!
