A Gumshoe book
The Gumshoe series of architectural mysteries / edited by Françoise Fromonot and Thomas Weaver

"After several years in America chasing the delirium of the Manhattan skyscraper, Rem Koolhaas eventually returned home to Europe to make a career for himself and his Office for Metropolitan Architecture. One of his first commissions was a strange villa on the outskirts of Paris. But what was he up to in Saint-Cloud, why is there a giraffe called Romeo in so many of its images and moreover what does this enigmatic building really mean? Investigating a series of clues and false leads left by the architect, in The House of Dr Koolhaas French architecture critic Françoise Fromonot unravels a tangled plot in an attempt to finally solve the mystery of the Villa dall'Ava."-- Back cover.
