The book creates an interdisciplinary, interpretative dialogue, and proposes a reading of architecture as a language, identifying its symbolic and stylistic features as means of expression. The rhetorical structures of this language are compared with the history and categories of classical rhetoric, but also with advertising, that is advertising and architecture intended as arts of persuasion on an emotional level.
