"Welcome to the Wonderful World of Shopping."
Architektur Aktuell, Wien
Austria
"Kaufkraft - schwarz, wuchtig, Goldprägung - sieht wie eine Bibel aus. Und ist eine: eine Bibel des Shopping. Einkaufen als letzter kollektiver Akt unserer Kultur, als Religion, die alle gesellschaftlichen Gruppen eint. Wie die Kauf-Kraft unser urbanes Leben durchdringt, nicht nur in Shopping-Malls, sondern auch in Flughäfen, Bahnhöfen, Museen oder Schulen, wird hier in Essays, Fotoserien und Aufrissen fokussiert. Ein bemerkenswertes Buch - habenswert!"

"The book seems destined to become the year's hippest coffee-table accessory."
The Washington Post
United States
"From consumer psychology to the death of the mall, air conditioning to Nikevolution - the brand giant's manipulation of the cityscape to build its name - this is a timely, fascinating and occasionally frightening survey of the world's favourite hobby"

"KOOL BOOK - Not content with being an architect, Koolhaas likes to write and edit books on architecture and if you want to shag someone design-savvy his two new books Project On The City 1 and 2 are the right thing to have on your coffee table. The second volume is my favourite as it looks at how shopping has changed everyday architecture and objects. It's not a light read but, heck, you should read one difficult book a year, and this one has the added benefit of looking too cool for school."

United Kingdom
"Kaufen, kaufen, kaufen ... Shopping ist eine ideale Beschäftigung"
Der Spiegel
Germany
"Wie ein gigantisches, buntes ... Kaufhaus ist das Buch angelegt."
Münchner Merkur
Germany
"Kreativität im Junkspace"
Abendzeitung
Germany
"This series reintroduces a non-judgmental interest in urbanism-long ignored by schools of architecture and long needing the revisit. Buy them. You'll want to have first editions, after all."
Building Design
United Kingdom
"... guaranteed to appeal to every conceivable audiance, simultaneously a 'how to' and a 'what not to'".
The Observer
United Kingdom
