Architecture Must Burn

Summary: Do we realy wish to live in a "sprawl world"?
Review: The world we live in is a result of human activity. To tolerate the caotic suburban areas as a kind of natural disaster and at the same time expect that it will get better by organizing itself with its spontaneous mechanisms seems an easy alternative to the historical continuity of modernist planning. This book is certainly not a manifesto but a literary dream of the author. Giving the world some sense with our imagination but not order makes me scared. We can not afford that the urban space, which is our product - and that's why we are responsible for it - leaks through our fingers and gets out of our control.
