Description

In these times of an expanding technology as a means of creating architectural form, there are few books which seek to explore the relationship between the overall intention of a project and the means of achieving it. In this sequel to "The Building Envelope", details of examples of good modern buildings are examined and analyzed on a comparable basis. The buildings selected for these technical studies were chosen for their innovative use of materials and detailing. They represent the most recent work of leading international architects and should become a source of inspiration for architects and engineers.
