Item description from seller

20 x 14cm. Side-stapled paperback, unpaginated [22pp, including 2-fold outs pages]. Some text overcropped, as usual. Pages printed recto only. Cover designed by Rae and Ben Fether. Introduces architectural, artistic and highly idealised imagined concepts of 'crust' and 'eruption' as applied to design, culminating in the design for 'The Molehill': "a build-up of crust that embraces the inter-activity within". This is then juxtaposed with 'The Cluster'. The diagonal direction is also examined as a crucial consideration for designing multi-level cities. Includes 'Computor City: A Synthesised Metropolis with Electronic Changeability' imagining a computer-mediated metropolis. Replete with counter-cultural and contemporary popular culture symbolism. Some scuffing to the front cover's upper staple. Otherwise very good condition.
