Fantastic! Extraordinary. A truly beautiful book. Transformed the way I look at things. Can't praise it highly enough. Jennifer Bloomer is now the only academic to whom I have wanted to write gushy fan letters.
Milestone of Contemporary Architectural Theory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a seminal work of contemporary architectural theory. By joining the works of James Joyce and Giambattista Piranesi, Bloomer creates a web of architectural inferences and spatial possibilities that are virtually limitless. A daring and inspiring work which transcends traditional cultural boundaries, and which challenges the reader to question assumptions about literature and architecture
