Er enthält eine weitreichende und tiefgreifende Betrachtung über die Bedeutung der Architektur. Hat die modernistische Architektur des 20.

Mit Beiträgen von Robert Maxwell, Jeremy Melvin, Mark Cousins und Alex Neill und mit einer Fülle von Bildmaterial zu historischen Bauwerken und Arbeiten zeitgenössischer Archtitekten, wie z.B. Daniel Libeskind, David Chipperfield, Peter Eisenman, Norman Foster, Freed, Nicholas Grimshaw, John Outram und May Lin. Zusammenfassung Some of the most far--reaching questions about the meaning of contemporary architecture are explored in this extensive work. The subject matter has attracted a great deal of interest from some prominent contemporary critics, who are some of the contributors to the book. Inhaltsverzeichnis Editorial.Introduction (R.
