Anyplace
by Cynthia C. Davidson

COMMENT: 'Anyplace' is the fourth in a series of eleven volumes compiled annually by Anyone Corporation in conjunction with eleven cross-cultural and multidisciplinary conferences on the condition of architecture at the end of the millennium.

What if you held an architecture conference and Fredric Jameson came, and Peter Eisenman and Arata Isozaki, Rem Koolhaas and Daniel Libeskind, Bernard Tschumi and Elizabeth Diller, Toyo Ito and Seoik Chul Kim, and Sulviane Agacinski, Elizabeth Grosz, John Rajchman, Jean-Louis Déotte, Sanford Kwinter, Peter Galison and Caroline Johnes, Alberto Pérez-Gómez, Jean-Claude Guédon, Brian Boigon, Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Johanne Lamoureux, Douglas Cooper, Melvin Charney, Sylvia Lavin, Michel Iorio, Daniel Latouche, Lojin Klaratini, Bruce Trigger, Rebecca Comay, and Akira Asada? The result would be, and is, 'Anyplace', a stimulating collection of essays, images, and dialogue that probes architecture's relationships with philosophy, science, art, technology, and politics.

John Thackara: 'Ultra-cool architecture theorists; but when it comes to architecture and virtuality, I still don't think they really get it.'
