Seven years in the making, 600 entries, 5,200
illustrations...
An unprecedented architecture encyclopedia
Unlike most architecture encyclopedias, which tend to concentrate
more on buildings and floor plans than their designers, this tome
puts the architects in the spotlight, profiling individuals so that
readers can get a clear overview of their bodies of work. Each
architect's entry features a portrait, quote, and short biography
as well as a description of important works, historical context,
and general approach; illustrations include numerous drawings,
photographs, and floor plans. The book's A to Z entries cover not
only architects but also groups, movements, and styles from the
18th to the 21st centuries. With 600 entries and 5,200
illustrations, The "A-Z of Modern Architecture" is a comprehensive
resource that no architecture professional, fan, or student should
be without.
Features:
- 566 architects from the 18th to the 21st century
- Architect portrait, quote, and short biography
