All Over the Map is an urgent response to the radical changes in contemporary architecture and the built environment witnessed in the twenty-first century. These essays explore pressing questions of architectural and urban design, and critical issues of public space and participation. Whether castigating the sorry performance of the architectural avant-garde, considering the nature of place in globalized culture, or providing mock instructions for entering a high-security environment, these writings make a powerful and provocative case for architecture and urban design to re-engage with the lives and societies from which they have become increasingly detached.
