‘The best gallimaufry of gossip and scandal I have read in years’ Lynn Barber, Sunday Times

An extensively revised and updated edition of a bestselling classic on modern architecture and its origins.

Beloved and contemplated by philosophers, architects, writers, and literary theorists alike, this book examines the places in which we place our conscious and unconscious thoughts and guides us through a stream of cerebral meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself.

A superb guide to the recently constructed National Museum of Qatar, leading the vistor through the magnificent collection within the museum’s extraordinary new space.
