Junkspace does a harder thing: it foretells the present, which is to say that it calls on us to recognize what is already everywhere around us.' Hal Foster Is there a future ... Read more

Reviews for Junkspace/Running Room
Junkspace is the most important piece of writing on architecture of the 21st Century. The stream of Koolhaas's prose is akin to a visionary dream, a structureless sequence of crystalline insight and enfolding opiate fog. . . It is distinctly literary, and there are moments of outright genius.
