An indispensable guide to the structures of the modern age. A celebration of the great buildings and structures of the modern age. This book traces every moment in architecture, from Modernism to Classicism, and details every major architect of the century past.
All that you want to know about 20th Century World Architecture presented in a stunning color format. It is reassuring that there are still shinning examples of architecture nestled into the urban mess that we have created. This is a book that is good to read again every few years. Having done so, it amazes me how many talented and dedicated architects there are throughout the world. However, I would have preferred more examples of Danish & Swedish design rather than the many located in Great Britton.
An inspiring selection of buildings which will leave you wanting to learn more about architecture. The format is simple, eight categories of style, each building having one page with a photograph and just the right amount of relevant text to accompany it. A joy to read.
