Description
An indispensable and innovative resource for anyone involved in contemporary architecture and urban development. Cities are the ultimate and most complex manifestations of human civilisation. For millennia, architects and builders have attempted to rationalise them into well-functioning and livable places for their inhabitants. While many aspects of a city evolve naturally, other facets result from masterful human interventions and radical imagination.
Now in paperback,Future City celebrates the visionary urban plans that have preoccupied architects trying to create a better world from the 1950s to the present. The book features hundreds of seminal and influential works by some60 architects, ranging from the groundbreaking experiments of Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, and Daniel Libeskind to a new generation of rising stars, including Asymptote, NOX, UN Studio and Greg Lynn. The book contains 500 illustrations.
