Manhattan is the site of Western civilization?s last stand. With its exploding population and the invasion of new technologies, Manhattan has, since the mid-19th century, been growing into a testing ground for a new culture of congestion and the collective unconscious of a new metropolitan way of life. Delirious New York is a ?retroactive manifesto,? an interpretation of the missing theory that underlies Manhattan?s development. It was a polemical and prescient book upon its publication in 1978, illustrating the relations between a mutant metropolitan universe and the singular architecture it can produce. In it Koolhaas also makes the claim that architecture often generates culture.
