Overview
The best is back (and now it's even better)The classic Taschen textbook is back with a vengeance. This updated, revised edition of Architecture in the Twentieth Century includes coverage up until 2001, more color photos, more architect biographies, new chapters on deconstructivism and the new living architecture ... it all adds up to the best review of 20th-century architecture you could hope for.
From Frank Lloyd Wright to Gaudi to Frank O. Gehry to Shigeru Ban and all the best stuff in between, it's all here. The chronologically organized chapters put it all into perspective, illustrated by hundreds of large-format photos as well as a plenitude of drawings and floor plans. The biographical appendix covers all of the century's greatest architects, including today's new talents.
An indispensable reference work and an absolute must for all lovers of architecture!
