This review is from: Pamphlet Architecture 14: Mosquitoes (Paperback)
This little book is exactly why I keep buying the Pamphlet Architecture series. In manifesto-like directness, K/K R&D stab at the heart of politics, culture and the traditional establishment of Architecture. The work presented is not peripheral; it is clearly at the center of where the understanding of Architecture should be at this stage of societal development. But, unlike the canonical manifestoes, it stays away from rhetorically utopian statements. The words are honest, brutal and unforgiving- and so is the architecture which it describes. This work finally reconciles the practice of architecture with the dystopic world views of Zamyatin, Kafka and Orwell. More of K/K R&D's work can be found in Pamphlet Architecture No. 12, Building: Machines. It is not for the light-hearted or those seeking a model career as a well-dressed architect. This book is meant for those who think for themselves, and who don't rush to the periodical section each time they are asked to do a project.
