Lebbeus Woods is a theorist who has devoted his career to creating radical new forms of space that are responsive to the uncertainty and continual shifts of contemporary society. Though speculative, his work is grounded in real-world conditions and meant to provoke new ways of thinking. The exhibition is a physical manifestation of his ideas.

Oh man, I stumbled across his "Radical Reconstruction" book a few years ago and immediatly picked it up. Facinating stuff, and really excellent drawings. the book that I have is all about using anarchic/organic reconstruction methods to rebuild areas destoryed by natural and man made disasters. Theres a really dense essay on it at the beginning that changed the whole way I thought about architecture. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to find much more by him.

I believe he sued (and won) some production house for stealing his design for that chair with the ball-thing infront of it for use in 12 Monkies.
