By means of architecture, or by means of what will be slightly but significantly different from what architecture has until now been, perception can be re-routed and new sites for the originating of a person can be found or formed.
– Arakawa and Madeline Gins, Architecture: Sites of Reversible Destiny
Architecture: Sites of Reversible Destiny begins with an essay by Australian philosopher Andrew Benjamin and showcases a selection of projects including Site of Reversible Destiny (Gifu, Japan), Reversible Destiny House I, The Bridge of Reversible Destiny (Epinal, France), and Double Horizon Public Housing (Berlin, Germany).
