This book is the bible for millenium era Architecture, ideal for a world steeped in cyberspace, bioterrorism, and chaos. There is no book that a could more highly recommend!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Lebbeus, April 4 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lebbeus Woods: Anarchitecture: Architecture is a Political Act - Architectural Monographs No. 22 (Hardcover)
Lebbeus Woods is the master architect: his theoretical explorations and investigations lay as exhibits that modern architects pull and borrow for their own artistic palate. His investigations are rooted in deep concepts that are difficult to follow at times, but understanding his drawings and his attempts are easily understaning his genius. The politcal connections he pulls from are all relevant and his drawings are indescribably beautiful, very active with the reader, exciting and full of life and vibrance.

5.0 out of 5 stars grounded in theory and corrugated iron, Mar 9 2001
By eve schneider - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lebbeus Woods: Anarchitecture : Architecture Is a Political Act (Paperback)
Woods is as much philosopher and urban planner as architect in the traditional sense. His buildings rip open the landscape of the ordered grid, and also open new possibilities about what it means to inhabit a space. The functions of some of his ideas for buildings are obscure even to him. He is constantly trying to deconstruct the politics of architecture and it's place in history. He actively embodies Heidegger's idea that "dwelling means to recieve the sky", except in his dwellings it also means to recieve the ground, and to actively take part in constructing your world.
