Jodidio, Philip — Architecture Now ! 5

Taschen, 2013 Hardcover, with dust jacket. 320 pages. Text in several languages. As new (sealed). A trilingual guide (English, German, French) to a selection of buildings from all over the world from 2000 to 2007. Because, according to Jodidio, the boundaries between design and architecture are increasingly blurring, a few design projects are also included. The introduction describes how the computer has revolutionised the design process and how young architects are emerging as a result. This is followed by 45 project descriptions from 41 architectural practices, each with a short biography of the architect or practice, a description of the project and on average six pages of drawings and photographs. In this abridged edition the Netherlands is represented only by UNStudio, with two projects in Stuttgart and the United States.
