About This Item
Prestel Publishing, 2005. Softcover. Very Good. 7x7x9. The buildings examined in this book, well-known today as icons of 20th-century architecture, were considered spectacular in their own times for reasons ranging from stylistic innovation to technological breakthroughs. New York City's Chrysler Building, Lloyd's of London, and the exciting new Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain - each of these structures, whether treasured or despised, has become a modern-day place of pilgrimage, and the stories behind their rise to iconic status have shed light on how we think about the built environment. Each building is presented in a double-page spread with brilliant photographs, original drawings, and helpful plans. Texts written by recognized specialists describe each work's design features and historical significance. Exciting and unusual anecdotes make this an especially insightful compilation, while biographies of the architects and recommendations for further reading qualify it as the ideal volume for new and in-the-know architecture enthusiasts alike.
