 | Radical Reconstruction by Lebbeus Woods
Buy new: $25.51 / Used from: $12.58 An interesting architect, who I have met, and like his drawing style. Very far reaching designs, most of his drawings are just that, I don't think he actually builds anything...but, if he has/does, I would pay big money to go see it. I don't have this one, but have a few others by him.
