Book Description
Focusing on 37 international examples of buildings completed in the last decade, this volume examines architecture that reinterprets rather than revives traditional forms, materials, and construction techniques. The projects covered range from better-known works by renowned architects such as Michael Graves, Renzo Piano, and David Chipperfield, to lesser-known buildings in such places as Hungary, Nepal, and Latvia.
