Product Description

This book is useful for architects at the cutting edge. "Architecture Now Volume 3" was the winner of the prestigious Saint-Etienne Prize for the Best Architecture and Design Book of 2004. Volume 4 proves that the best keeps getting better, with new names from all over the world and the most exciting and unique buildings and designs. As always, easy-to-navigate illustrated A-Z entries include current and recent projects, biographies, contact information, and website addresses. Here are just a few of the projects that are featured in the new book: a shelter for the needy made out of sandbags; "Nomadic Museum" made by Shigeru Ban out of shipping containers; a tree house in Germany; extraordinary museums that will never be built in Lausanne and Guadalajara; new museums that have been built by Gehry, Mansilla and Tunon, or Richard Meier; BMW Central Building in Leipzig by Zaha Hadid; Allianz Arena by Herzog & de Meuron; Wedding Chapel in Japan; design hotels in Berlin and Sao Paulo or Cerro Paranal, Chile; library in Seattle by Rem Koolhaas/OMA; houses in Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Corsica, Hiroshima, or Great Mackerel Beach, Australia; and Spoon des Neiges by Patrick Jouin. It also features: a tower that will grow like a tree in New York; with-it architects like David Adjaye, Caramel, Graftlab, Jakob+MacFarlane, Asymptote or Lewis Tsurumaki Lewis; artists who take on architectural space like Frank Stella or Bill Viola, or architects who are interested in art like Peter Eisenman; the E-House, architecture that is greener than green; and from the Minimal (David Chipperfield and John Pawson) to the decidedly exotic (Longitude 131, Uluru-Kata National Park, Northern Territory, Australia).

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...

Architecture Porn plain and simple. It gives you a snippet of information to allow you to look them up properly. They are basically like visual index's

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
