A comprehensive survey of international architecture at the turning point of a new century. Focusing on modern building types and the forces that shape them, it offers a critical study of more than six hundred buildings by key architects worldwide. Analysing thirteen separate building categories, it traces the pluralist paths of architectural thinking from the seventies to the start of the new millennium. This book tells of these new forms, with their underlying quest for aesthetic consensus.
Includes colour and black-and-white illustrations.
