Realms of Impossibility by Cj Lim
In the tradition of his "Sins and Other Spatial Relatives", this new work follows the unique trajectory of architect C. J. Lim's thoughts and observations on the kooky world of inventors. Showcasing inventive designs for buildings, components, and devices, from such leading figures as Heath Robinson, Rebecca Horn, Jean Prouve, and Jean Nouvel, this book is an exhilarating celebration of architectural inventors and their intriguing creations. An eclectic mix of observations, theories, and designs, this latest volume in a series of books by C. J. Lim presents architecture's spin on the all-too-human impulse to tinker.
"..three mini books that invite the reader to make connections between the three volumes and cultivate a fantasy approach to architecture in favour of pragmatics..." (Building Design, 5 July 2002) " exciting and meticulously detailed graphics beautifully executed irresistibly touchable " (Graphics International, No.96, 2002) " compelling intelligent and useful as a document, Lim has created inspirational stuff " (Monument, August/September 2002)
