Some guy from Norway is looking for information on deCon. He doesn't have
e-mail access (?) but would like some answers on alt. architecture. I'm
probably not the best one to answer his request but I bet that there is
someone here who is qualified.

I havent written any papers to date on these subjects, but I know of a
number of titles of books that may be helpful to you regarding
poststructralism. For field related academic subject matter I suggest the
following:
The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa and Other Essays; author:
Colin Rowe.
Deconstructing The Kimbell; An Essay On Meaning and Architecture
by Michael Benedikt.
The Architecture of Deconstruction; Derrida's Haunt by Mark Wigley.
For non-field related philosophical reading I suggest:
The Production of Space by Henri Lefebvre; translated by Donald
Nicholson-Smith.
The Foucalt Reader compiled by Paul Rainbow.
And finally for entertaining reading some stories with architectural
implications:
Amnesia by Douglas Cooper
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
I have many other titles that may help you but are not strictly field
related. If you are interested in these other titles just post a note
indicating so and I will gladly get the list for you.
