250 Things An Architect Should Know by Michael Sorkin

Michael Sorkin's iconic list is now in a handsome printed package, a perfect gift for any architect, student of architecture, or design-savvy urbanist. By turns poetic and humorous, practical and wise, this book is a joyful celebration of the craft of architecture. A posthumous book by critic, architect, urban theorist, and educator, Michael Sorkin (1948-2020), 250 Things An Architect Should Know is filled with details that architects love to obsess over, from the expected (golden ratio and the seismic code) to the unexpected (the heights of folly and the prismatic charms of Greek islands.)

Michael Sorkin was an architect and urbanist whose practice spans design, planning, criticism, and teaching. An outspoken critic of misguided architecture, urban inequality, oppressive ideologies, and other impediments to truly egalitarian and sustainable societies, Sorkin was principal of Michael Sorkin Studio, president of the nonprofit Terreform, and director of the Graduate Program in Urban Design at City College of New York (CCNY). Sorkin was architecture critic for The Village Voice, and he has authored numerous articles and books on the subjects of contemporary architecture, design, cities, and the role of democracy in architecture.
