There’s a compulsive, obsessiveness about the work in this book that for me makes it one of the most enjoyable things I’ve seen in a long time. Architecture itself is an obsessive process, but it requires the kind of level-headedness that is definitely not shared by the artists’ whose work features in Beyond Architecture. These artists take buildings and cities as their starting point, but very quickly jump off into an imaginary world of Babel’s Towers made from corrugated cardboard, soap and melted chocolate.
