NOTE: This is a pretty book. Here are some comments I made sort of about it, a while ago — quote:
As far as I am concerned these days: architecture is fashion, and urbanism is typography. It kind of kills me that the only work I have come across that highlights anything resembling the latter analogy is that “alphabetical city” pamphlet by Mr. Holl. But it also kills me that you almost can’t get a fucking architect to even say the word “typography”, much less practice it or get the significance. I mean, it is practically a crime that the word, or any of its related conjugants, does not appear on page 216 of “atlas of novel tectonics”. WTFFFFFFF??!?
But yeah anyway. That aside, I like the book, despite the fact that I have heard whispers in the subways that he (Reiser) is a dildo. I have not seen any prima facie evidence of dildoism in the book or on the internet, typographic ignorance notwithstanding, so if you have any such knowlegde please pass it along. Innocent until proven guilty, that’s how it is, yes.
According to Amazon, this book retails for $29.00— $17 more than what I’m asking — and ranks an understandable 144,054 in sales. The primary text of Atlas of Novel Tectonics is credited to Jesse Reiser; Princeton Architectural Press put this particular 288-page paperback edition out on Feb. 1, 2006, with Dewey Decimal number 720.1. The ISBN is 1568985541.
