Hur beskriver man Andres Lokko? Det beror på vilken Andres Lokko man talar om. Den mest inflytelserika svenska musikjournalisten i modern tid? Kulturjournalisten? Satirikern och humoristen från Killinggänget? Den politiskt engagerade krönikören? Den intellektuella ironikern från nittiotalet? Var det inte han som var chefredaktör för tidningen Pop? (Eller chefsideolog?) Författaren som gjorde musikkritiken till sin plattform för att under två decennier spana efter den tid som flytt i en följetong om ett brustet hjärta som vägrade läka? Eller den numera vuxna dramatikern, korrespondenten, kritikern och Guldbaggenominerade manusförfattaren vars livslånga anglofili till slut fic...

Occupying Architecture focuses on the importance of the user of architecture. It emphasises the cross-currents between design, theory and use, and the need for a wider cross-cultural approach to architecture. Beginning with the architect, the book proceeds to explore models for architectural practice that actively engage the issue of use, and concludes with examination of the user. The authors draw on illustrations and examples from London, Las Vegas, Barcelona and Bruges to discuss how and why architecture ignores the user. The apparant contradictions between the 'producer' and the 'product' of architecture are highlighted before the activities of the architect and the actions of the user are explored. This book illustrates that architecture is not just a building: it is the relation between an object and its occupant.
