Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan.

KOOLHAAS, Rem.

Item Number: 2003

New York: Oxford University Press, 1978.

First edition. Folio, original cloth. Signed by Rem Koolhaas on the title page. Fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with a few closed tears.

"Manhattan, Koolhaas writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." One of the great architectural classics of the second half of the 20th century.
