To photograph avant-garde architecture is its own particular art,
requiring careful attention to geometry, composition, lighting, and
the ineluctable feel of a created space. In his famous photographs
of modern architectural marvels, Marcel Chassot doesn't merely
capture a building's appearance; he transports us to the space,
recreating both its ambience and its grandeur. This volume
assembles buildings designed by the giants of modern
architecture--from Frank Gehry's surrealist twists and stacks to
Zaha Hadid's formal speed and fluidity, from Beijing National
Stadium to the Sony Center in Berlin and the World Trade Center
Transportation Hub in New York--offering a wealth of scenes from
international contemporary architecture. Wolfgang Meisenheimer
sheds light on the fundamental principles of Chassot's photographic
worldview and distinguishes between three layers of thought in
which the work is rooted: the Euclidean orders, echoes of the
modern philosophy of the lived body, and the legacy of Cubism from
the beginnings of modern painting. With its felicitous interplay of
brilliant architectural photography, exquisite design, and
thoughtfully researched essays, this book is a total work of art.
