Modern Architecture AZ. XL

With almost 300 entries, this architecture from A to Z offers an essential overview of the key players in the creation of modern space. Covering modern architecture from the 19th to the 21st century, pioneering architects are accompanied by a portrait and a concise biography, as well as a description of their important work.
Like a global tour of bespoke architecture, this book will allow you to travel from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to a Japanese concert hall, from Antoni Gaudí's Palau Güell in Barcelona to Lina Bo Bardi's sports and recreational center in a former factory in São Paulo. You will admire the colorful geometries of Gio Ponti, the fluid futurism of Zaha Hadid, the bright interiors of SANAA, and the unique blend of Scottish tradition and elegant japonisme of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
The entries from A to Z in the book also cover groups, movements, and styles to place these individual prominent architects within broader building trends over time and geography, including the International Style, the Bauhaus, De Stijl, and much more. With illustrations that include some of the best architectural photographs of the modern era, this is a comprehensive resource for any professional, student, or architecture enthusiast.
