Overview

Eric Owen Moss: The New City will appeal especially to city and urban planners, developers involved in urban restoration and renewal, young architects and students and anyone interested in advanced design such as seen in that of Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, or Zaha Hadid. How many rundown industrial areas have ever been transformed by avant-garde, radical architects? None, right? None, that is, until Eric Moss began his interventions in Culver City. There, in the "" New City"" of this book, a unique blend of funk, fashion, and fantasy is blossoming into one of the most daring visions of urban design ever imaginable, with over 50 projects completed to date.
