Based in New York, Michael Sorkin is one of the most talked-about and controversial architects working today. A critical and polemical (yet humorous) voice in contemporary culture, he is a highly respected and internationally known architect, writer, and lecturer. His previous books contained his critical writings, and he has never published a complete volume on his architecture and design projects until now. The projects of Michael Sorkin Studio exist on theoretical and experimental levels -- they are part invention and part critique -- and they come to fruition through drawings, models, exhibitions, writings, and installations. Many of the visionary architectural proposals focus on ingenious urban redevelopment schemes, and this eagerly awaited book will for the first time encompass the depth of the Studio's work. The work is grounded in the belief that the city is both the primary source of architecture's social meanings and the main imaginative challenge confronting architecture today. Particularly important is the Studio's ongoing inquiry into the prospective forms of sustainable, post-technological cities, which are presented here through a range of formal experiments investigating architecture at many scales. Sorkin believes that every architect must reinvent architecture, and Michael Sorkin Studio is a record of the research behind his ambitious efforts at reinvention.

This monograph documents over a decade's worth of projects from this important New York-based firm. Although urban areas are most frequently the subject of the Studio's iconoclastic rejuvenation, an attention to nature and natural form is nonetheless ubiquitous. From the biomorphic Governor's Island proposal to the unabashed representationalism of the Beached Houses, from the luminescent tubers of the Miira installation to the neurological networks of the Neurasia project, the Studio combats the sprawl of automobile-centric urbanism with a decidedly organic vocabulary.
In the able hands of the Michael Sorkin Studio, progressive strategies of urban intervention and biological reinjection - as Tokyo's Godzilla and the East New York projects testify - are given innovative architectural form. Beyond the strength and breadth of the projects themselves, the work is enhanced by this volume's dramatic graphic presentation. Produced by the Studio, the "exquisite corpse" layout literally intertwines the projects, illustrating both their kinship and their strong contextual affiliations. With over two hundred color images, this book serves as an appropriate forum for the Studio's production and its increasing use of sophisticated imaging technologies.
