      "Bedtime Stories for Architects, is a compendium of texts, built works and graphic work by Peter Wilson. It offers glimpses of buildings by the German based office of BOLLES+WILSON, but it is not a monograph, it presents a cloud of discursive subjects and narratives, evidencing Wilson's take on a wide range of academic, technical, cultural, and architectural issues. It has been called 'tremendously cutting-edge', perhaps because of the wry humor of the stories and Wilson's witty and intelligent drawings - these extend to satirical portraits of - bankers, estate agents, property developers and a few OK people. Much of the book is organized alphabetically like a children's book - A is for Albania, C is for Counterfactual Histories, G is for Guggenheim, M is for Malevich, O is for Olgiati, R is for Ritual. Counterfactual Histories (a concept from Borges) are paint-shop illustrated as surprising, poetic and enigmatic landscapes. 'A Blue Review' deconstructs a book on colour in architecture. Between the enigmatic graphic works are longer texts including Wilson's extensive analysis of Studio Mumbai (first published in El Croquis), a longer investigation of the Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati and a history of Modernism in Wilson's home country Australia" --

    • Economics no longer forms the backdrop to world events but rather appears to drive foreign policy and represents a more powerful resource than military strength. If globalization is irreversible, then conquering markets is much more important than conquering territory. These are the claims made about economics in world affairs, both by policy analysts and by armchair philosophers. This book examines these claims critically shows how political agendas and speculation have formed many of our current assumptions about the workings of economics in the world today.
