Like a bespoke global architecture tour, youll travel from Manhattan skyscrapers to a Japanese concert hall, from Gauds Palau Gell in Barcelona to Lina Bo Bardis sports and leisure center in a former factory site in So Paulo. Youll take in Gio Pontis colored geometries, Zaha Hadids free-flowing futurism, the luminous interiors of SANAA, and Charles Rennie Mackintoshs unique blend of Scottish tradition and elegant japonisme.

The books A to Z entries also cover groups, movements, and styles to position these leading individual architects within broader building trends across time and geography, including International Style, Bauhaus, De Stijl, and much more. Featuring modern architectural photography, this is a comprehensive source book for any architecture professional, student, or devotee.
