Manhattan is a utilitarian polemic.
REM KOOLHAAS
Thirty-four years passed since the first publication of Delirious New York in 1978
The book itself was a polemical manifesto of an unrestrain, and uncontrolable
progress of the Metropolitan dream. I always kept the book close promixity to my reach
over the years read and re-read without hackneyed, until the begining of the new
millenium, around that time I changed the places, I moved to perimeter of the Urban sprawl,
to a place where everything seem and feel like a suburbia, wide tree lined streets,
two-three story wood and masonry houses with a close porches and sizeable front yards
lined up with a respectfull distances to each other. The place was quite calm and green
most amazing part of; it was only 27 minutes train ride away from the Delirious New York.
