Disorientation : Bernard Rudofsky in the empire of signs

by Felicity D. Scott, Nikolaus Hirsch, Markus Miessen, Martin Beck

This volume examines Bernard Rudofsky's theories on vernacular architecture, focusing on his 1964 MoMA exhibition and 1950s observations of Japan. It analyses his critique of modern urbanism and the social implications of industrialised living.
