The Arcades Project

Walter Benjamin

Benjamin’s unfinished project reads like a city made of quotations. It gathers arcades, fashion, iron, glass, advertising, dust, and political memory into a method of montage.

The archive entry should treat the book as a field notebook: not a single argument to summarize, but a constellation to revisit by theme, image, and historical pressure.
