The Desire in Architecture - the Interpretation of New Avant-garde

by K. Michael Hays

Although it is widely recognized that the highranking construction in the 1970s has left us with some wonderful stories on the experiments and theoretical speculation, and its fame and controversy can compare with any legends in the history of architecture. However, such a legend does not own its place in any general theories. Now, K, Michael Hayes has devoted the book the Desire of Architecture to us readers. In the book, the New Avant grade is depicted to be an architecture which breaks free systematically and rediscovers its own style. It not only thinks of the historical role of the school, and intends to explore the possibility of the expression with architecture, until reaching the absolute limits of these possibilities.
