Sinopsis

Travelled the world through architecture. In this series of Taschen Philip Jodidio delivers a different vision of architecture in the world, marking trends from country to country. Each book illustrates the work of 15 to 20 architects from more established until the young promises, analyzing his contribution to architecture's most recent country in question. There is no lack of contact information or description of his last orders. The interesting thing is that this series becomes a tribute to the architectural personality, full of nuances of each country. The format and size of this book can not portray an overview of architecture in the United States, so we have selected a number of significant examples without claiming any particular style. The selection of projects and covers architects of the most famous (Frank O. Ghery) to lesser known (Michael Jantzen), interspersed with a range of figures who have also left their mark architectural staff at the scene. The aim is to highlight the variety present, at least serve as a fascinating introduction to a world that seems to have left behind not only Wright but also Gropius and Mies.
