Description
The architecture of the twenty-first century has found in Maximalism the ideal vehicle through which to express the configuration of an ever-growing desire for uniqueness as well as a way of accentuating the personality of the most important architects of the contemporary world.
This book includes recent constructions in the field of manipulation of space-houses in the form of an insect or whose aesthetic suggest military barracks; the field of experimentation with new materials thanks to the possibilities of more advanced technologies. All of the projects included are examples of some of the contemporary buildings in which architecture does not just produce habitual houses but rather makes the creation of made to order microcosms possible.
The objective of some of the architects who created these new projects and who are still working today like Frank Gehry or Zaha Hadid-was the quest for the for the spectacular and the grandiloquence.
