26 Geoff Manaugh
Writer and BLDGBLOG founder Geoff Manaugh's latest book, A Burglar's Guide to the City, isn't just a set of case studies on bank vaults and getaway routes\u2014it's a dialectic for public and private space.\xa0It\u2019s definitely the first book I\u2019ve come across classified jointly under \u201carchitecture\u201d and \u201ctrue crime\u201d, and it's full of fascinating insights into how burglars exploit architecture to pull off the perfect crime, as well as the extent architects go to prevent that from happening.
Geoff spoke with me about the research behind the book, and how a personal experience with burglary changed his ideas about privacy in architecture. For more podcasting with Geoff, check out our conversation about autonomous vehicles on Archinect Sessions #43.
