As an architecture student- one would think I could at least understand the rational of one thinking abstractly or creatively. Well to be short, i embrace that kind of thinking, until it leads to THE ABSURD. Moving the Western Wall over 100 miles away from its location at the Temple Mount? Is this a joke!? I think that this so called professor and architectural theorist needs to get his head checked. One of the paradigm points of architecture is to be PRAGMATIC or PRACTICAL. Architecture takes real-world situations, rule sets and norms and DEALS directly with them. This is nothing but pure novelty and novelty always loses out to REALITY. I would buy this book if you want to have to get your head checked [you may be in line behind the author]. Strong words, i know, but sometimes insanity needs to be dealt with before it poisons society. I'm a compassionate person, but architecture, like politics, is something that cannot be screwed with.
