Architecture in the 20th Century
From Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank O. Gehry to Antoni Gaudí, Shigeru Ban and all the best in between, this essential guide celebrates 100 years of the best architecture. Large-format photographs, drawings and floor plans, along with a chronological overview, reveal the ideas and trends that defined the 20th century.
€59
The architecture of the 20th century is characterized by astonishing diversity. Just as the clash of aesthetic and commercial ambitions nevertheless produced many a happy symbiosis, so did the purist and the expressive, the monumental and the picturesque come face to face. From exalted "starchitects" to lesser-known names around the world, this chronological survey takes you to the heart of the ideas, trends and transitions that defined the 1900s.
From Frank Lloyd Wright to Antoni Gaudí, from Frank O. Gehry to Shigeru Ban and all the beauty in between, it's all here. The 31 chapters are organized chronologically and put everything in perspective, illustrated with hundreds of large-format photographs and an abundance of drawings and maps. The biographical appendix covers all the greatest architects of the century and celebrates today's emerging talents, and the lavish illustrations include some of the best architectural photography of the modern era.
