lebbeus woods' visions cross the border between real and apocalyptic. his highly evocative renderings are rooted in his surrounding environment, but they move us to the realm of fantasmic architecture. brilliant.

Lebbeus Woods is perhaps unequalled, and definitely the most imitated renderer in the architectural world. With that said, this book is just a shadow of his masterpiece, "Anarchitecture: Architecture as a Political Act"

I recommend this for thos who already know Woods and can't get enough of him, but as an introduction, definitely read Anarchitecture.

One of the first architectural books I bought, because it was different. I didn't know who he was at first or if he was an architect. I thought comic would be a great branch into architecture. This books show many of this theoretical project that is base of a post-apocalypse society. This book displays his great hand work skills. He used mediums of color-pencil, ink sketches and some very powerful chip-board models. 85% of the book is artworks. There are some texts on this philosophy for his reasoning if you would believe it or not. I went to his lecture at SciArt and his new stuff is just as similar in style to his older works in his book. I no longer regard Wood as much of an architect or nor a artist. This book was good in time of my interest in the subject, but now it has no resourceful information.

lebbeus woods bites. Get real.
