Vessels and fields

the long version

"Vessels & Fields is a collection of Wellington Reiter's experimental projects, presented through a series of powerful drawings that owe as much to Lebbeus Woods for their frenetic and intense energy as they do to Piranesi for their ability to use simple pen-and-ink linework to create unusually complex spaces."--BOOK JACKET. "Just a few of the more than 20 projects included in this collection are the excavation of a defunct missile silo to allow for public viewing; two giant cones serving as timepieces, one measuring the growth of a tree and the other the erosion of a boulder; and a bridge between two islands on either side of the International Date Line that eventually becomes a meeting point between two distinct political ideologies."--BOOK JACKET.
