Modern Architecture A-Z

By Chrisjob

Powerhouse "coffee table book" publishers Taschen will offer Modern Architecture A-Z, edited by Peter Gossel, later this month. "This tome puts the architects in the spotlight, profiling individuals so that readers can get a clear overview of their bodies of work. Each architect's entry features a portrait, quote, and short biography as well as a description of important works, historical context, and general approach; illustrations include numerous drawings, photographs, and floor plans. The book's A to Z entries cover not only architects but also groups, movements, and styles from the 18th to the 21st centuries... The A to Z of Modern Architecture is a comprehensive resource that no architecture profession, fan, or student should be without."
