# Junkspace with Running Room - Hardcover

by **Rem Koolhaas** (Author), **Hal Foster** (Author)

_Junkspace_ first appeared in the _Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping_ (2001), a vast compendium of text, images, and data concerning the consumerist transformation of city and suburb from the first department store to the latest mega mall. The architect Rem Koolhaas itemized in delirious detail how our cities are being overwhelmed. His celebrated jeremiad is updated here and twinned with _Running Room_, a fresh response from the cultural critic Hal Foster. _Junkspace_ describes the bleak and featureless world of capitalism, while _Running Room_ seeks to find a space within the junk in which the individual might still exist.
