Review: "In 1998 Michael Sorkin was commissioned by the University of Chicago to produce an alternative to the official master plan for its architectural revitalization. His studio had barely begun before they were dropped from the process. However, as a concerned alumnus, Sorkin proceeded on his own and in Pamphlet Architecture 22, the Sorkin Studio presents their unsolicited scheme in models, colorful drawings and text." "When architect Steven Holl and publisher William Stout established the Pamphlet Architecture series in 1978, their intention was to provide an independent vehicle to criticize, question and exchange views. Each pamphlet was chosen, according to Holl, for its "independence and intensity of spirit" and for its polemical arguments, unified collection of concepts, and clear point of view. In Pamphlet Architecture 22, Michael Sorkin provides concrete evidence of a visionary ideal and an exemplar of what remarkable architecture and planning can mean today."--BOOK JACKET.
