New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Reflecting the diversity of 20th-century buildings, this well-illustrated volume introduces the style and ethos of over 70 Modernist and Postmodern architects, from the vaults and undulating structures favoured by Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), through the innovations of Le Corbusier and Norman Foster, to the sustainable constructions designed by Shigeru Ban (b.1957).
Product information
Full publisher description
Featuring 75 of the world's most influential architects, this book presents the story of 20th-century architecture through the fascinating personal stories and significant works that have shaped the field. Arranged in a broadly chronological order, the book gives the reader a sense of the impact that inventive individuals have had on the development of architecture and our built environment. Key dates in the architects' careers are listed in timeline features, allowing the author freedom to move beyond well-known biographies to analyze the buildings and map out the exciting visions behind them. With insightful text describing carefully selected examples, this is a dynamic and unique guide to the architects whose visions have created the buildings around us.
