An A to Z of modern architecture, from Gio Ponti's colorful geometries to Zaha Hadid's free-flowing futurism. In almost 300 entries, this comprehensive overview presents architects, styles, movements and trends that have shaped architecture from the 19th to the 21st century.
An Encyclopedia of Modern Architecture
With almost 300 entries, this architectural lexicon offers an indispensable overview of the key figures in the creation of modern building forms. We introduce you to the groundbreaking architects of the 19th to 21st centuries, each with a portrait, a short biography and a presentation of their most important works.
As if on a personal trip around the world through architecture, you travel from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to a Japanese concert hall, from Antoni Gaudí's Palau Güell in Barcelona to Lina Bo Bardi's sports and leisure center on a former factory site in São Paulo. You'll experience Gio Ponti's colorful geometries, Zaha Hadid's free-flowing futurism, the light-filled interior of SANAA and Charles Rennie Mackintosh's unique blend of Scottish tradition and elegant Japonism.
The alphabetically arranged entries also include groupings, movements and styles to better place these leading architects in their historical and geographical context, including the International Style, Bauhaus, De Stijl and many more. Clearly illustrated, including some of the best architectural photographs of our time, this volume is a comprehensive reference work for all professionals, students and architecture lovers.
