Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. first printing. Paperback. 18 × 11cm, 225pp. This book looks at the idea of horror and its analogues in architecture. In these, normal compositions become strange: extra limbs appear, holes open where they should not, individual objects are doubled or split or perversely occupied. Horrifying buildings re-imagine the possibilities of architectural language, shifting from 'natural' norms to other, more rarefied and exciting options. They define an expanded aesthetic field that marries the beautiful to the distorted, the awkward, the manifold, and the indeterminate.

Condition: Very good condition, with a little light bumping to the covers.…
