Modern Architecture A-Z

Modern Architecture A-Z

Space shapers
An encyclopedia of modern architecture

With more than 280 entries, this architectural Aâ€“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, youâ€™ll travel from Manhattan skyscrapers to a Japanese concert hall, from GaudÃâ€™s Palau GÃ¼ell in Barcelona to Lina Bo Bardiâ€™s sports and leisure center in a former factory site in SÃ£o Paulo. Youâ€™ll take in Gio Pontiâ€™s colored geometries, Zaha Hadidâ€™s free-flowing futurism, the luminous interiors of SANAA, and Charles Rennie Mackintoshâ€™s unique blend of Scottish tradition and elegant japonisme.

The bookâ€™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.
