    <![CDATA[This extraordinary, massive, and mind-boggling  1,300-page book combines essays, manifestos, diaries, fairy tales, travelogues, a cycle of meditations on the contemporary city--and complex illustration--with work produced by Koolhaas' Office for Metropolitan Architecture over the past twenty years. This almost overwhelming accumulation of words and images illuminates the condition of architecture today--its splendors and miseries--exploring and revealing the corrosive effects of politics, context, the economy, and globalization. In some ways, this is the  &quot;Medium is the Message&quot;  of 1990s architectural discourse: guaranteed to be hugely influential in the coming decades, but grossly  misunderstood by those who have not read it. The core  arguments it makes about metropolitan architecture--accepting  complexity and lack of centralized control--are similar to those of Kevin Kelly's  Out of Control:  The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World. Very highly recommended. ]]>
