Architectural Monographs No 22: Lebbeus Woods – Anarchitecture: Architecture is a Political Act (ed. Vivian Constantipoulos; St Martin’s Press 1992) gives a comprehensive overview of the unique architect and his exceptional projects.
Lebbeus Woods’ architecture is one of continual research. His drawings are propositions of new ways of living, rather than merely new ways of building. his architecture is instructive: “… these projects propose new social structures, implemented by new urban forms and architecture, intended to be realised within existing cities,” but it is never prescriptive, always urging possibilities for social, cultural and political transformation. This Monograph illustrates the range of Lebbeus Woods’ ideas. The projects featured here are from the past decade, but have been developed over a whole career, and include the recent Zagreb Free Zone and Berlin Free Zone designs as well as the earlier projects such as Four Cities and Centricity.
