Written in 1978, Delirious New York has been called the end of architectural utopias, celebrating congestion, fantasy, ambivalence and the confrontation of high and low cultures. It also invented a new genre of architectural writing which was to take the world by storm.

Panel of critics:

Mark Wigley, Dean of Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University, New York, and provocative architectural critic
Alejandro Zaera-Polo, principal of Foreign Office Architects (former student of Koolhaas)
David Greene, Archigram
Chaired by Paul Finch, editor of The Architectural Review

 

Venue

Room M421, University of Westminster, 35 Marylebone Road, NW1
