This review is from: 40 Under 40: Young Architects for the New Millennium (Specials) (Paperback)
Who are the Norman Fosters, Richard Meiers and Tadao Andos of tomorrow? Who will build our airports, museums, and homes in the 21st century? 40 ARCHITECTS UNDER 40 is TASCHEN's answer.
Discover the next generation of designers who are already starting to shape the architecture of the new millennium, redefining the relationships between culture, environment, structure, and space. Finding inspiration from visions of the future and traces of the past, these are the people who are defining the aesthetics of tomorrow's architecture.
This new and original book takes us on a tour around the world, highlighting the best young architects and their groundbreaking work. Some of the architects featured, such as Shigeru Ban of Japan and UN Studio from the Netherlands, have already gained critical acclaim for their work. The rest, such as Marc Barani and Aranda Pigem Vilalta, are poised on the brink.
40 ARCHITECTS UNDER 40 is organized alphabetically by architect or firm, each entry featuring biographical and bibliographical information, as well as text highlighting each designer's most important works to date. With a wealth of photos and floor plans and a fresh, innovative layout, 40 ARCHITECTS UNDER 40 is both an essential reference book and exciting peek into the future of architecture.

This book is an above average collection of Architects. It is mostly pictures with a short discription on the architects. The projects are each given about 2 pages with each architect about 6.
