50 manifestos

From Bldblog:

The manifestos that I posted about last week are now online at Icon: 50 manifestos for a 50th issue.

So click on over and read manifestos by Rem Koolhaas

(’Europe is doing almost ridiculously well. We fly for next to nothing, we have the highest quality prisons, Europe gave us millions of new friends, Frisian Lakes are maintained in order, sewers that ruined the most beautiful beaches are gone, the Spanish countryside is now a polished backdrop for whizzing high-speed trains’)

and Bruce Mau

and so on…
So check it out.”
