Which books can change the way we view the city? Architect, critic, and architecture popularizer Adam Gebrian will present his personal “tasting menu” of books that have influenced his thinking about buildings, public space, and everyday life in the city. From classic urban planning theories to the book Life Among Buildings and the monumental S, M, L, XL, he will explore various ways of observing and understanding architecture. The guided tour will also include a presentation of the exhibition All You Can Read with exhibition curators.
Rem Koolhaas & Bruce Mau: S,M,L,XL (1995)
After the guided tour, you can stay in the exhibition, watch the video essay, browse through the books in our library, or join Adam Gebrian in a discussion focusing on the publication S, M, L, XL by architect Rem Koolhaas and designer Bruce Mau. Why does it continue to influence architectural thinking even thirty years on?
