Architecture Now! Vol.10

Description

The best-selling series of Architecture Now! celebrates its tenth edition with a neat new format and thematic organisation. The book brings together the most remarkable new construction work from all over the world into one definitive overview of the latest trends in architectural practice. From Frank O. Gehry's shining Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris to Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, more than 70 international projects are arranged into five tabbed sections: Residential, Commercial and Public, Education, Research, Culture, and Leisure. Across these core categories, the selection process works to celebrate contemporary architecture in both its innovation and its eclecticism, and to profile the work not only of "starchitects" but also of rising talents such as Tatiana Bilbao (Mexico), Sou Fujimoto (Japan), or the young team from Chile, Pezo von Ellrichshausen.
