recommended by the guy at Librería Poesia 20 when I inquired (very haltingly) about architecture guides. Very useful tour itineraries to guide one's wanderings, although it does focus on the better-known neighborhoods. It predates the crisis; on the one hand, not much has been built since, but on the other hand the names/uses of buildings have changed. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70072238 Autophobia: Love and Hate in the Automotive Age (Hardcover) by Brian Ladd

Asia's 20th-century instant cities are rarely architectural marvels; what sets them apart are the nuances of their human geography. This should be an interesting look. ]]>
