Slow Manifesto: Lebbeus Woods Blog
Softcover | 17.8 x 1.9 x 25.4 cm | 288 pp
Princeton Architectural Press | 2015 | 9781616893347
In the fall of 2007, Lebbeus Woods, long admired for his visionary architecture and mastery of drawing, began a blog. Part forum and part public journal, the eclectic mix
of articles, drawings, anecdotes, poetry, interviews, and photographic essays explored topics ranging from architectural theory and criticism to education and politics. As
one of the last major works of his extensive career, the blog stands as a testament not only to Woods's significance to contemporary architecture but also to his appreciation of
the possibilities of new media.
Amassing more than three hundred entries during what proved to be the final years of Woods's life, the Lebbeus Woods blog is regarded by many as the most comprehensive and accessible archive of his prodigious creativity. This book is the definitive collection, containing seventy of Woods's most noteworthy articles from his blog, curated by his longtime editor Clare Jacobson.
With a foreword by architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne and afterword by Aleksandra Wagner, Slow Manifesto: Lebbeus Woods Blog stands as a serialised essay
on the nature of architecture that will be essential to architects, students, and thinkers everywhere.
