This architectural A to Z is a comprehensive guide that covers modern architecture from the 19th to the 21st century. With nearly 300 entries, it offers an indispensable overview of the key players who have shaped the creation of modern spaces. Each entry features a portrait of a pioneering architect along with a concise biography, a description of their significant work, and a visual representation of their most notable projects.
This book serves as a bespoke global architecture tour, taking readers from the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan to the serene Japanese concert halls, from the iconic Palau Güell by Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona to the innovative sports and leisure center by Lina Bo Bardi on a former factory site in São Paulo. It delves into the works of renowned architects such as Gio Ponti, known for his colorful geometries, Zaha Hadid, renowned for her free-flowing futurism, the luminous interiors of SANAA, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who blended Scottish tradition with elegant japonisme.
In addition to individual architects, the book's A to Z entries also cover groups, movements, and styles to place these leading individuals within broader building trends across time and geography. These include International Style, Bauhaus, De Stijl, and many other influential movements. The entries are accompanied by stunning illustrations, including some of the finest architectural photography of the modern era, providing a comprehensive resource for architecture professionals, students, and enthusiasts alike.
