this book would be okay for any architecture student. it gives you an understanding of how an experimental class was taken on by professors + students.
but that's it. nothing more, nothing new. the folding experiments weren't explained as much as i want them to be. the artistic direction is questionable, although i found it okay... my girlfriend didn't. 'what the book is showing is how they rape a material... it breaks my heart to see paper treated this way', well, couldn't blame her for that opinion. the course is too easily categorize as absurd anyway.
