found this book at the local bookstore and was floored that there are radical architects or at least were. They were a group that was founded during the 68 Paris uprising.

One of their articles deals with artchitecture and it's future within the capitalist system.

anyone have any other articles by this group or has heard of them?

Yep heard of the guys during college. They have a great eye for design but fuck all else.

One of Guy Debord's main focuses was analysis and critique of modern architecture and city planning.

Why?

Because of the mentally stifling and depression causing alienation brought on by the way cities are constructed and the way we interact with them.
