inside theory

This books is a must have for any architect or urbanist interested in theory.

excellent anthology

An excellent compendium of writing from that period. Unlike KM Hayes' book covering a later period, the selections were made with the wisdom that comes with almost 30 years of hindsight and is less about the time in which it was published (90s).
