London. A Portrait of a City

This volume inaugurates a new series of publications edited by three leading authors on the world's architectural and artistic scene: H.U.Obrist, Rem Koolhaas and Stefano Boeri. A series of dialogues resulting from the first, "legendary" Serpentine Gallery Marathon, conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rem Koolhaas, dedicated to London, the description of one of the great metropolises of the world and to the most topical subjects on the international scene. Some of the most innovative protagonists of the British architectural, political, literary, musical and artistic scene (including Brian Eno, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, Ron Arad, Doris Lessing, Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George amongst others) have been invited to speak of the near future.
