Synopsis

To describe renowned writer, critic and educator Aaron Betsky as prolific would be a gross understatement. Over the years, he has written over 20 books with subjects ranging from Zaha Hadid, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Dutch architecture practice MVRDV to the relationship between architecture and same-sex desire.

His latest covers that hottest of topics, reuse in architecture. Betsky travels the world looking for the best examples, as well as taking some unexpected turns into the worlds of art, music festivals, and squatting.
