书籍介绍
这不是一本可以平铺直读的建筑作品集，而是一场近乎蛮横的思想轰炸。库哈斯把新加坡、柏林墙、通用城市、典型层这些看似平庸甚至不堪的命题逐一抛上案台，用过度诠释的执拗为它们强行注入观念的重量——'给每个私生子一棵家谱'。读者在短评里反复提到的'直击痛点'，正源于他对每个项目社会语境的逼问：建筑为何存在，又为谁服务。它适合那些不愿被精美图纸安抚、渴望看到建筑与权力、资本、日常纠缠不清的人。震撼它的架构，也震撼它'嬉笑怒骂'的叙事本身；读一百遍，有一百遍的刺。

精彩摘录
- "ALPHABETIZED Rose had a kitchen that was so completely alphabetized, you'd find the allspice next to the ant poison."
- "............. If there is to be a ‘new urbanism’ it will not be based on the twin fantasies of order and omnipotence; it will be the staging of uncertainty; it will no longer be concerned with the arrangement of more or less permanent objects but with the irrigation of territories with potential; it"
- "Typical Plan is an American invention.It is zero-degree architecture,architecture stripped all the traces of uniqueness and specificity.It belongs to the New World. ... Typical Plan is minimalism for the masses. You can only be in the Typical Plan ,not sleep,eat,make love. ... Heroically,Typical Pla"
- "Who does not long for that histrionic branch of the profession that leapt like clowns--pathetic yet courageous--off one cliff after another, hoping to fly, flapping with inadequate wings, but enjoying at least the free-fall of pure speculation? Maybe such nostalgia is not merely a longing for the fo"
- "...a system of fragments. Nothingness here would be a modified Caspar David Friedrich landscape--a Teutonic forest intersected by Arizona highways; in fact, a Switzerland."
- "If there is a method in this work, it is a method of systematic idealization -- a systematic overestimation of what exists, a bombardment of speculation that invests even the most mediocre aspects with retroactive conceptual and ideological charge. To each bastard, a genealogical tree; the faintest "
- "Also, the wall is not stable; and it is not a single entity, as I thought. It is more a situation, a permanent, slow-motion evolution, some of it abrupt and clearly planned, some of it improvised."
- "In comparison, the sixties dream of architecture's liberating potential-- in which I had been marinating for years as a student-- seemed feeble rhetorical play. It evaporated on the spot. 2. The wall suggested that architecture's beauty was directly proportional to its horror."

身为天才和自大狂的库氏。那些宣言式的文字留待日后吧
一直以为这是一本不可读的书来着...早熟的RK理论指导设计的策略贯彻在中早期的竞赛中，对每个项目社会意义上的解读而产生的设计方法直击痛点。有趣的是90年代之前一直只做欧洲竞赛的RK第一次见到新加坡的惊讶和彷徨（甚至不惜用两篇超长报告写新加坡和generic city)，内心是深深的怀疑和恐惧，嗅到了欧洲城市被历史束缚手脚，因而在空间上滞后于21世纪的必然结局。成书时中国发展尚未腾飞，RK还没有料想到新加坡经验被照搬到中国几乎所有的城市，多亏了建筑师的缺席。被执行了脑白质切除手术的Potemkin city有未来吗
