5.0 out of 5 stars Architecture Now 5 - 2007 survey, 4 Feb 2008

Michael Wailes (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Architecture Now!: v. 5: Architektur heute. L'architecture d'aujourd'hui (Vinyl Bound)

Taschen's wonderful annual review of the most noteworthy contemporary architecture is now in its fifth year. It covers new work by the usual jet-set starchitects (Gehry, Rogers, Calatrava etc,) but the majority of the buildings covered are by somewhat less well known practices, and generally more interesting for it. Something for everyone. A great inspiration and wonderful escapism. Elegantly produced, lovely photos, nicely laid out, and much cheaper than a subscription to Blueprint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Architecture Now v2, if you liked the 1st, you'll like this!, 21 Oct 2003

"isabeluna" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Architecture Now!: v. 2 (Vinyl Bound)

A great book in the continuation of Architecture Now!, this 2nd volume also has the high qualitity images, texts, and projects that appear in the 1st volume. With many architects of the 1st book like Tadao Ando and so many other great architects and projects. I've bought the 1st book 4months ago and I've now bought the 2nd and believe me it is worth it! It bound together great projects, with color photos and plans and especially with a *very* suitable price, one of the best and cheaper books you'll find. For architects or just someone who wants to know some of the best architecture out there...

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!, 9 Dec 2001

cybertasos@hotmail.com (Liverpool,England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Architecture Today (Taschen specials) (Vinyl Bound)

This is a book for people that are interested in architecture, not necessary architects. It covers most of the important architects of our time ( Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry and about 100 others.) We can see every architact's most important and recent project with many photos, plans and descriptions. It is a MUST! Now I have to go and continue my journey through modern architecture...

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit disaopointing
First of all this book is very small and it dosn't contain a lot in it. A very poor overview of about 80 architects.

A nicely presented and slick little book with very good and sensibly chosen photos. However the graphic content is the only reason you should consider buying this book. Read more
