Description: "During his first excursions to the United States, the Italian architect Gianni Pettena produced a series of 'environments' in an idealized collaboration with artists Allan Kaprow and Robert Smithson that staged a veritable implosion of fields; counter-events and Happenings, radical design and Land Art, as well as new technological landscapes and the pastoral Midwest."--Back cover.
