Architecture Without Content 9: The Difficult Double

Dries Rodet, Giovanni Alessandro Piovene Porto Godi, Kersten Geers, Andrea Zanderigo, Jelena Pancevac

The culture of architecture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading, simplification and superficial interpretation of something far away, both in space and time, has been the engine of quite many of the avant-gardes of the recent pas ...
