Klappentext

A comprehensive introduction to more than fifty years of work by American artist and architect James Wines

What Else Could It Mean? Drawings & Writings presents more than five decades of visionary work in art, design, environment, and education by James Wines—artist, architect, and founder of SITE. Featuring rarely seen archival photography, drawings, and essays, this richly illustrated book invites readers to explore Wines' and SITE iconoclastic critiques and creative redefinitions of art, architecture, and urbanism. More than a retrospective monograph, What Else Could It Mean? is a forwardthinking call to action to address the challenges of our time with wit and imagination.
