Description

Featuring studies of 95 of the most significant buildings of the early 21st century, this book includes work by established names such as Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, OMA and Frank Gehry, as well as up-and-coming architects such as Jamie Fobert and Sou Fujimoto. The buildings are organised by planning strategy and are divided into eight chapters, each with an informative introduction that ties the buildings back to iconic examples from the 20th century.For each of the buildings included there are numerous, accurate scale plans showing a combination of floor plans, elevations and sections as appropriate. All of these have been specially redrawn for this book and are based on the most up-to-date information and sources. Concise text discusses the organisational strategy and the significant architectural features of the building's anatomy, together with colour images. The quality and number of the line drawings, together with the authoritative text and images, allow all the buildings to be understood in detail.
