Requirements: .ePUB reader, 159MB
Overview: Since its publication in 1978, – Delirious New York has attained mythic status. Rem Koolhaas’s celebration and analysis of New York City depicts the city as a metaphor for the variety of human behavior.
At the end of the nineteenth century, population, information and technology explosions made Manhattan a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle and its architecture. Koolhaas interprets and reinterprets the dynamic relationship between architecture and culture in a number of telling episodes of New York’s history, including the imposition of the Manhattan grid, the creation of Coney Island and the development of the skyscraper.
Delirious New York is also packed with intriguing and fun facts and illustrated with witty watercolors and quirky archival drawings, photographs, postcards and maps. The spirit of this visionary investigation of Manhattan equals the energy of the city itself.
