Clean, very good condition without any missing pages or dog-ears. Used copy with very slight shelf wear. Binding istight. No markings anywhere. Due to the binding method and materials used, the covers of Oppositions tend to develop slight oil canning. This is not to be misconstrued as damage due to moisture.

Oppositions was an architectural journal published by the MIT Press for the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies from 1973 to 1984. Many of the articles in this legendary journal contributed to advancing architectural and urban theory andmany of its contributors were or became highly distinguished practitioners of architecture. Twenty-six volumes (24 issues) were issued during the magazine’s eleven years of publication.
