Madelon Vriesendorpâs Manhattan Project Together with her husband Rem Koolhaas, Vriesendorp began working on a number of sketches, drawings and paintings under the name âManhattanâ, inhabited by anthropomorphic architectures and infused by oniric imagination and surreal themes. âFlagrant Delitâ, arguably the most iconic of these ones, is a representation of post-coital Empire State and Chrysler Buildings caught in bed by the Rockefeller Building, representing âone of the most beguiling attempts to depict the unconscious double-life of modern architecture.â Her work was vastly used for book and magazine covers, (notably on the cover of Delirious New York in 1978 by Rem Koolhaas. M.V.âs body of work has been recently reevaluated and collected in a retrospective exhibition at the Architectural Association School of Architecture and, later, at the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel. -Sock Studio #koolhaas #remkoolhaas #deliriousny #MadelonVriesendorp #manhattan #architecture #nyc #archilovera #urbanism #nycurbanism https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Z_2HSH2D3/?igshid=xg3a1wbqkuow
