Architecture Must Burn

Combining the talents of Aaron Betsky, internationally recognized architecture and design critic, and Erik Adigard, award-winning designer and illustrator for Wired magazine, 'Architecture Must Burn' presents 27 manifestos that revolve around the notion that architecture is an example of technology becoming poetry, a haunting evocation of the culture that makes it. Mixing current theories on spatiality, technology, literature and art Betsky argues that architecture is ultimately an act of constructing the self. 'Architecture Must Burn' is not just about architecture, it is about the way in which we see the world we live in. A provocative, exciting book for everyone interested in contemporary culture and design, destined to become a cult classic.
