Reinier de Graaf is a Dutch architect and writer. He is a partner in the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and co-founder of its think-tank, AMO. He is the author of Four Walls and a Roof: The Complex Nature of a Simple Profession and architect, verb.: The New Language of Building as well as the novel The Masterplan. He lives in Amsterdam.

Following the diagnosis that 'the architecture profession is at war with the present', Reinier de Graaf calls for disarmament and conscientious objection in his manifesto Architecture Against Architecture. With a touch of anarchism, this work is an absolute must-read and perfectly timely.
