Free Spirit in Architecture Omnibus

by Andreas C. Papadakis, Geoffrey Broadbent

This omnibus volume brings together an international selection of architects who are influencing the development of modern architecture today. They are all theoretically inclined, revolutionary and encourage experimentation and development in architecture, and their buildings offer unfamiliar shapes. But these are not mere dreams of hopes; all these architects are building extensively and influencing a whole generation of students as was made clear at this year's Venice Biennale where the work of the architectural schools reflected their influence.
