Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan
![Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan - Rem Koolhaas' interpretation of the links between New York society and architecture was a sell out in its first print run](/images/323-delirious-new-york-a-retroactive-manifesto-for-manhattan.jpg?height=600&mode=pad&scale=both&width=800)
Delirious New York investigates the variety of human behavior using New York city as a metaphor. The culture explosion of the terminal 19th century made Manhattan a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle. Koolhaas interprets and reinterprets the dynamic relationship between architecture and culture in a number of telling episodes of New York's history. An essential read for anyone interested in urban design and a seminal work of the twentieth century, this is a top notch gift!
