" As the millennium drew to a close, architecture was the only arena left for revolutionary thinking . for it alone is capable, as a medium , of simultaneously encompassing and adressing concept and action in spacetime " . Continuing the collaboration of over 30 years between the New York based artists Arakawa and Madeline Gins, this book is a unique and predominently visual exploration into the architecture and its centrality to the project of the human self-knowledge and self-formation . carrying philosophical argument into the realm of construction . Documenting what it is actually like for a person to stand within a piece of architecture, this is the first systematic study of the role the body and bodily movement play in the forming of the world . Through a series of computer generated images of great beauty and intricacy, the reader is presented with ways of reworking the man-made world that is architecture . Going futher, the book suggests a revoluntionary re-invention of the planet and, by extension, the universe . Arakawa and Gins' vision is profoundly optimistic, one of an architecture that empowers instead of repressing humanity . architecture that tentatively opposes the monumentality which led to the acts of annihilation at Auschwitz and Hiroshima . An essay by Andrew Benjamin and a selection of projects including : Site of Reversible Destiny, in Gifu, Japan . Reversible Destiny House I : the Bridge of Reversible Destiny , Epinal France . and Double - Horizon Public Housing , Berlin Germany . complete what amounts to a whole new turn to architecture and art-making alike .
