The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture--so massive that it comes in its own plastic carrying case--is one of the rare publishing events that lives up to its hype. The book showcases 1,052 buildings completed since January 1998 with thousands of well-chosen color photographs plans, elevations, and cross-sections. Major elements of each project are described in elegantly succinct texts. Rather than simply pay lip service to the concept of "world" architecture, this book ranges throughout 75 countries on six continents. And although the big names in the field are here--Rafael Moneo and Herzog De Meuron are each represented by nine projects; Tadeo Ando with eight, Frank Gehry with six--the focus is on the ingenuity and diversity of contemporary architecture, regardless of the fame of its creator.The book's global view embraces many approaches, including experimental construction, neo-modernism, postmodernism, reinterpreted vernacular architecture and lingering traces of the International Style. While virtually every building type is included, from factories to museums, from lookout towers to train stations, the largest and most creative category is single family housing. Selected (as were all the projects) by a panel of leading architects, critics, scholars and others, these homes offer a tantalizing sense of what is possible, even on a modest budget. Grouped by country, the residences establish a sense of local context--from the elegant use of Scandinavian wood to the imaginative use of narrow plots of land in Tokyo. Fully indexed, with an array of maps and world data charts, The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture is destined to serve as a unique reference tool. But the geographic organization encourages you to just open the book anywhere and make a discovery--perhaps the surreal vision of Ake Larsson's Icehotel (carved from ice and snow), or the forest of Cor-ten steel pipes Jose ABP Forjaz used in the Mbuzini Memorial, or the startling shed forms of Rick Joy's Tubac House. --Cathy Curtis

Great Glass Building

Great Glass Building
Images Publishing Dist A/C | ISBN: 1864701129 | 228 Pages | PDF | 51 Mb
In Great Glass Buildings , Peter and Jennifer Hyatt present fifty exemplary modern projects that explore a number of theories about the nature, mystique and attraction of glass in the architecture of recent years. Variously performing roles that include giftwrap, lightweight armour, transmitter and insulator, glass began its re-emergence as an architectural force during the 1990s, as a symbol of new modernism. Advances in glass-making and construction technology and the advent of structural glazing, fixing systems, glass coatings and waterproof connections have transformed the ambitious dreams of the past into reality. Including projects by Foster and Partners, Murphy Jahn, Santiago Calatrava, Shigeru Ban, Renzo Piano and many others, this book reveals the complex nature of glass in today's architecture.

10x10 - 2: 100 Architects - New Link

10x10 - 2 100 Architects
By Editors of Phaidon Press, zaha hadid, toshiko mori, kurt forster, erwin viray, a. campo baeza
Publisher: Phaidon Press
Number Of Pages: 468
Publication Date: 2005-04-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0714844411
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780714844411

Book Description:
Since the release of the critically acclaimed 10x10 five
years ago, the world of architecture has evolved: Advances
in technology and research continue to produce increasingly
sophisticated forms; advances in communication have
resulted in decentralized, multicity architecture offices;
and an impressive crop of young architects is emerging from
countries with comparatively little previous recognition in
the field, such as Slovenia, South Korea, and China. Many of
the architects featured in 10x10— including Asymptote,
Shigeru Ban, and MVRDV—have become established fixtures on
the international scene, opening the way to a new generation
of talent. With the expertise of a highly knowledgeable and
high-powered group of curators, 10x10_2 picks up where its
predecessor left off.
10x10_2 is a comprehensive and global view of new architecture,
presenting the work of 100 up-and-coming architects in 28
countries, selected by 10 of the world’s best-informed
architectural critics. Organized in A–Z order, the book
introduces each architect or studio on four pages that include
photographs, drawings, and accompanying text written by the
critics. Although some of the architects are beginning to gain
worldwide recognition, others have achieved acclaim in their
own countries for their work over the past five years. The
selection in this volume features more than 250 buildings and
projects, including recently built work as well as those
currently under construction and due for completion. The
effects of the global economy and political shifts are also
evident in the book’s selection, which includes several
architecture studios in Slovenia, South Korea, and China.
Also notable is a widespread move toward multi-location
architecture collectives such as Servo, Ocean North, and
n-o-m-a-d, which take advantage of a network of contacts in
key cities around the world.
10x10 _2 also includes 10 original essays written by the
critics that express their views on current architectural
issues. In addition, each critic has chosen 10 cultural
references—from designed objects to film, theory, and
literature—that exemplify the range of influences on today’s
rapidly changing design environment. The complete list of these
references as well as one reading from each critic is reproduced
in the book, which concludes with complete biographical information
on each critic and architect/firm, as well as an index.

Architecture Now! Vol. 1

Tuyển tập các công trình của nhiều kiến trúc sư nổi tiếng

Philip Jodidio, "Architecture Now! Vol. 1 (English/French/German Edition)"
Taschen 2001 | ISBN-10: 3822860654 | 576 Pages | PDF | 79,6 MB

More than ever before, architecture at the beginning of the 21st century is changing and evolving at lightning speed. Appropriated, chewed up, mulled over, digested, contemplated, and contorted - gathering up along the way fashion, ecology, politics, and art - architectural concepts become veritable things unto themselves in the present tense. As astoundingly diverse as contemporary architecture is, most importantly it is a reflection of what's happening right now all over the world, in people's minds and in the global collective consciousness.

The many faces of world architecture today make for a mind-expanding book. Here you'll find the most recent work of over 60 architects and firms, including familiar names such as O. Gehry, Meier, Ando, Foster, and Starck, as well as a host of newcomers sure to be the architecture-celebrities of future generations. Highlights include Jakob & MacFarlane's morphological Restaurant at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Diller & Scofidio's "Blur Building" proposal for the International Expo 2001 in Switzerland (an ovular structure suspended over a lake, encapsulated by a fine mist of water, creating the look of a cloud hovering over the lake), and Herzog & de Meuron's remarkable Tate Modern. Proving that contemporary architecture is not limited to physical building design, New York firm Asymptote's Guggenheim Virtual Museum is also included, a place where visitors can take a cyber-stroll through rooms that are designed to be "compelling spatial environments." Presented alphabetically by architect or firm, Architecture Now! can be used like a reference guide, with extensive photographs and illustrations, biographical and contact information for designers, and a careful selection of today's most influential architects.

City of Art and Science. Incredible Architectural Complex in Valencia (Spain)

City of Art and Science. Incredible Architectural Complex in Valencia (Spain)
This set includes 81 high resolution photos (up to 5500 x 2900 px). City of Art and Science is progressive modern architectural complex in Spain. The complex is an ensemble of five areas in the dry riverbed of the now-diverted River Turia in Valencia, Spain.
Designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava in collaboration with Félix Candela, and started in July 1996, it is an impressive example of contemporary architecture.

The "city" is made up of the following, usually known by their Valencian names:
El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía — Opera house and performing arts centre;
L'Hemisfèric — Imax Cinema, Planetarium and Laserium;
L'Umbracle — Walkway / Garden;
El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe — Science museum;
L'Oceanogràfic — Open-air oceanographic park.

Surrounded by attractive streams and pools of water, it and the surrounding areas of the "city" are typically used as a relaxing place to walk day or night, with an open air bar outside El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe during the evening (especially during events).
