Description: Rotterdam, 010 Publishers, 1998 Hardcover, 252 pages, Illustrated. Fine condition. ISBN 9789064503436. ¶ Constant Nieuwenhuys is best known for New Babylon, designed between 1956 and 1974 and presented in countless models, drawings, paintings, graphic works, writings and lectures. New Babylon consists of a vast layered, sheltered structure divided into sectors. This net-like structure rises above the ground plane on pillars and extends across the entire earth. In New Babylon all traces of traditional buildings and social institutions would be abandoned. Everyone would drift through vast labyrinthine interiors and continuously reconstruct the spaces around them or stimulate new ones.
