Description
Examining common architectural forms (chairs, doors and walls) and programmes (a cinema, a health club and a skyscraper), this text dissects and reconfigures them. The authors create ten projects that draw their power from an oscillation between the recognizable and the surreal. Undermining the conventions and norms of contemporary architectural design, the authors pose a direct challenge to the search for styles, arguing that the greatest potential for architecture in the 21st century rests on an imaginative examinatiom of what we take for granted.
