SynopsisWriter, architect, teacher and renderer Daniel Willis takes on an immense range of topics in this provocative work. His ideas, drawn from literature, philosophy, pop culture, and everyday life, challenge readers to rethink their participation in the built environment around them., In this book, the author takes us on a flight of imagination that never strays far from the most tangible, even intimate subjects. It suggests that architecture is as vital as ever, and draws on a number of literary texts including the Wizard Of Oz and the Tower of Babel. It also challenges readers to rethink their participation in the built environment, and the text is accompanied by the author's original illustrations which link the forms and forces surrounding architecture at the end of the 20th-century in thought-provoking ways.
