A selection of the author s iconoclastic weekly columns in Building Design is now made available, decorated with the author s own extremely bad drawings, to those without access to the benefits of the architectural trade press. Alighting on subjects broadly architectural, Self talks you through a trip on an opentop bus in London, a visit to Barratt Homes and marvels over the ugliness of Cologne. His targets and objects of affection are as diverse as Pictish broughs; the SIPSocracy and autogeddon; the dignity, or otherwise, of labor; and Norman Foster s plane. Will Self takes this opportunity to scratch at the sore places and follies of modern life the Millennium Dome, the Diana cult, Berlin, the new Getty Center, the Cotswolds; to promote his heroes J G Ballard, Thomas De Quincey, Julian Jaynes; and to share his observations on topics ranging from Eric Gill s dress sense (and exotic sexual practices) to his own experiences as a hod carrier.
