Some Assembly Required

Front Cover
1 Review
University of Minnesota Press, 2001 - Architecture - 250 pages
Michael Sorkin is widely hailed as one of the best architecture critics writing today. Iconoclastic and often controversial, he is a witty, entertaining, yet ultimately serious writer. In this new collection, Sorkin reviews the state of contemporary architecture and surveys the dramatic changes in the urban environment of the past decade. From New York to New Delhi, from Shanghai to Cairo, Sorkin offers a sweeping assessment of the impact of globalization, environmental degradation, electronic media, rapid growth, and the legacies of modernist planning.

Review: Some Assembly Required

User Review  - Michael - Goodreads

In contrast to his Exquisite Corpse compilation of essays jam-packed with levity, this is Sorkin as serious, environmentally concerned, almost-eco-terrorist. The only funny offerings are some of his odd-ball urban schemes. Read full review
