Notes Toward the Construction of a Work of Fantastic Architecture

In Fantasy & Science Fiction (The Illuminated Man – May 1963), J.G. Ballard laid a foundation for Robert Smithson’s initial critical edifice, The Crystal Land.

In The Dead Astronaut (Playboy - May 1968), Ballard prophecies Smithson's demise.

In Bananas 2 (The Low-Flying Aircraft – Early Summer 1975), Ballard mourns the death of the architect he helped write into existence.
