Architecture Now! 6
Liquid modernity
This sixth installment of Architecture Now!, featuring buildings ranging in size from Terunobu Fujimori’s tiny (6.07 square meters) Teahouse Tetsu to Norman Foster’s gigantic Crystal Island project in Moscow (1.1 million square meters), provides an overview of what is happening right now in architecture, be it of traditional inspiration, or at the very edge of current thinking. What is the spirit of this moment, and how does architecture reflect the creativity as the first decade of the 21st century draws to a close? Architecture Now! 6 is THE reference for what is happening and what is to come. Easy-to-navigate illustrated A–Z entries include current and recent projects, biographies, contact information, and web sites.

„Philip Jodidio, ein herausragender Architekturkenner, ist schon viele Jahre bei Benedikt Taschen Autor … Jodidios Auswahl an architektonischen Meisterwerken kann sich sehen lassen, wobei er den Schwerpunkt auf die Qualität der Bauten legt und nicht auf die Namen der Stararchitekten, die trotzdem fast vollständig vertreten sind. Vom Lowbudget-Bau und dem Privathaus über einen Brillenladen, Boutiquen zum Bahnhof, zum Sakralbau, zu den großen Museumsbauten bis hin zu virtuellen, vielleicht gar nicht realisierbaren Ideen ist alles vertreten … Eine bekannte TASCHEN-Leistung: Hohe Qualität zu einem kaum denkbar günstigen Preis. Insofern ist das Konzept Benedikt Taschens nach wie vor konkurrenzlos. Ein wunderschönes Bilderbuch.“
