Delirious New York - REM Koolhaus 1994 Edition
Since its original publication in 1978, Delirious New York has attained mythic status. Rem Koolhaas's celebration and analysis of New York depicts the city as a metaphor for the incredible variety of human behavior. At the end of the 19th century, population, information, and technology explosions made Manhattan a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle.
