Description

Jonathan Glancey is considered by many to be the finest architectural writer in Britain today Contains superbly reproduced color photographs Jonathan Glancey discusses over 300 landmark structures from those now regarded as classics of modern architecture such as L'Institut du Monde Arab in Paris and the Sydney Opera House, to recent buildings such as the Swiss Re building in London and the Parliamentary Library in New Delhi. His jargon-free prose is engaging and informative, and as well as providing an account of each of the carefully selected structures, he also discusses the architects who created them, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Richard Rogers, Eero Saarinen, Richard Meir, Frank Gehry, Alvar Aalto, GaudI, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, to name but a few. The concept and style of these buildings were often strongly influenced by the social and political conditions of their time, and Glancey provides fascinating background information that enables the reader to reflect on these buildings and structures from a completely different perspective.
