Featuring 95 of the most significant buildings of the early
twenty-first century, this book includes works by such eminent
architects as Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, OMA and Frank Gehry, as well
as newer names, such as Jamie Fobert and Sou Fujimoto. The buildings
are organized by planning strategy and are divided into eight chapters,
each with an informative introduction that ties the buildings back to
iconic examples from the twentieth 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. For each building there is a
concise text discussing the organizational strategy and the significant
architectural features of the buildingâs 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.
