Description: This is Jencks' homage to 'unique' buildings which defy well-carved pigeonholes in architecture. It's a wonderful classic 70s book that completely rejects conformity. It's Jencks showing us what Jencks wants us to see. He was a brilliantly progressive architecture and a huge character and it's no more apparent than in this wonderful publication of 'Bizarre Architecture'.
 
Charles Alexander Jencks (21 June 1939 – 13 October 2019) was an American cultural theorist, landscape designer, architectural historian, and co-founder of the Maggie's Cancer Care Centres. He published over thirty books and became famous in the 1980s as a theorist of postmodernism. Jencks devoted time to landform architecture, especially in Scotland. These landscapes include the Garden of Cosmic Speculation and earthworks at Jupiter Artland outside Edinburgh. His continuing project Crawick Multiverse, commissioned by the Duke of Buccleuch, opened in 2015 near Sanquhar.
