Delirious New York

Since its original publication in 1978, Delirious New York has attained mythic status. Rem Koolhaas's celebration and analysis of Manhattan describes a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle—"the culture of congestion"—and its architecture. Back in print in a newly designed edition, this influential cultural, architectural, and social history of New York is even more popular, selling out its first printing on publication.
