Part of the TED series: The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings
A pavilion made from paper. An inflatable concert hall. A building
that eats smog. A bridge that grows grapes. THE FUTURE OF
ARCHITECTURE IN 100 BUILDINGS captures the soaring confidence, the
thoughtful intelligence, the futuristic wonder, and at times the
sheer whimsy of the world's most inspired and future-looking
buildings. As author Marc Kushner explains, 'The future of
architecture is not one of any dominant style, but rather a world
of constant innovation and experimentation.' Like an architectural
cabinet of wonders, the book captures this glorious global
diversity. From soaring steel towers to bamboo bungalows; from
iconic monuments to ingenious children's playgrounds, each page
offers an unexpected glimpse of architecture's potential. Through
his book and TEDTalk, Kushner suggests that in the age of social
media, buildings speak louder than ever. Everyone with a smartphone
has become an architectural photographer, snapping selfies with the
world's most photogenic buildings. And this constant stream of
photos ensures that architecture is now in conversation with the
world. Its future matters more - and to more of us - than ever.
Aimed at this new, broad audience for architecture, this is an
essential and delightful guide to the future being built around us.
