| Abstract |
'Delirious New York(1978)' of Rem Koolhaas is not only a historical book but a double code text writing the history of Manhattan in parallel to surrealism. Throughout this book, the surrealist terminologies such as unconsciousness, desire, paranoid, automatism, cadavre exquis etc, are widely used to explain the urban phenomena and buildings of Manhattan. Among these methods, in the fifth chapter, Paranoid critical method(PCM) invented by Salvador Deli, is explained in detail and adapted to Corbusier's project and other architects of Manhattan. Koolhaas connect PCM to the conceptual transposition and draft in architectural thinking. This thesis is to analyse the terms and methods of surrealism and how these methods are used to explain the urban phenomenon of Manhattan in 'Delirious New York' |
