Any theorist or practitioner of architecture must confront, and even be compelled by, boredom. In this innovative book, Andreea Mihalache discusses the work of four thinkers - Bernard Rudofsky, Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Saul Steinberg - who all recognised this form of exhaustion and shallowness as the disease of the modern world.
