Book of the Moment

Did Someone Say Participate? An Atlas of Spatial Practice is a book responding to "globalization at work." Editors Markus Miessen and Shumon Basar contend that a "new atlas is being re-drawn for the 21st century" and that their book "re-draws the map of participatory, spatial practice that is a function of such shifts."

The thick and heavily illustrated book has the requisite eye candy (check out the book's web page for some sneaks) set within a highly theoretical and potentially controversial topic, namely the architect's role in globalization.
