Nothing could be more true than that of the last two decades. Never has architecture been so unbridled and so extraordinary: the architectural cast has never been so wide and their works so diverse. What though if you are new to the subject? How is it possible to make sense of this seemingly unruly architectural landscape? There are so many different types of architecture so many designers with such varying and even contradictory approaches. This book is a much needed navigation guide for anyone interested in modern architecture. Organised chronologically it enables you to find your way through one of the most prolific periods of building design. It looks at buildings in often contrasting styles that have been built almost simultaneously across the world with their roots in very different tendencies and schools of thought. A loose but effective framework is provided which pulls all these multiple threads together while key buildings are described individually with a unique clarity and precision. Covers seminal works such as Guggenheim Bilbao and the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Features key architects: Norman Foster Zaha Hadid Herzog \u0026amp; de Meuron Toyo Ito Rem Koolhaas Jean Nouvel and Renzo Piano Illustrated with more than 220 colour images Order your copy today.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: New Directions In Contemporary Architecture Evolutions And Revolutions In Building Design Since 1988\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Puglisi Luigi Prestinenza (University Of Rome)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: John Wiley \u0026amp; Sons Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780470518908\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/1\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Architecture","brand":"Puglisi Luigi Prestinenza (University Of Rome)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49595599880497,"sku":"IN-G-9780470518908","price":35.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780470518908.jpg?v=1754883907","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780470518908-new-directions-in-contemporary-architecture-evolutions-and-revolutions-in-building-design-since-1988","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
