Description
This book, now on its fourth printing is again available.
Transparency and luminescence have re-emerged in the vocabulary of architecture, and light and 'lightness' have become key concepts for a significant number of contemporary architects, as well as artists who create installations.
The 33 projects illustrated in this book exemplify this emerging sensibility, which is examined in a penetrating essay that places the new work in a broad historic and cultural perspective. More than 30 architects are represented in this international selection, and it includes a broad range of building types, scales, and technologies, from the small Leisure Studio created by a group of young Finnish architects to Renzo Piano's Kansai International Airport in Japan. Also shown are the Goetz Collection in Munich by Herzog and de Meuron, the Cartier Foundation in Paris by Nouvel, and a set design by Tod Williams and Billie Tsien.
