Description

Space shapersAn encyclopedia of modern architectureWith more than 280 entries, this architectural A Z, now part of our Bibliotheca Universalis series, offers an indispensable overview of the key players in the creation of modern space. From the period spanning the 19th to the 21st century, pioneering architects are featured with a portrait, concise biography, as well as a description of her or his important work.Like a bespoke global architecture tour, you ll travel from Manhattan skyscrapers to a Japanese concert hall, from Gaudi s Palau Guell in Barcelona to Lina Bo Bardi s sports and leisure center in a former factory site in Sao Paulo. You ll take in Gio Ponti s colored geometries, Zaha Hadid s free-flowing futurism, the luminous interiors of SANAA, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh s unique blend of Scottish tradition and elegant japonisme.The book s 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. With illustrations including some of the best architectural photography of the modern era, this is a comprehensive resource for any architecture professional, student, or devotee.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing.
