Product Description

Product Description
"The Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture" is a comprehensive portrayal of the finest built architecture from around the world completed since the year 2000. Divided into six world regions, the "Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture" provides an important overview of global and local trends in architecture for a wide range of users. The geographical contexts for 21st century architectural production are explored in a global framework presented in accessible graphic formats. Each of the six world regions is introduced by an in-depth look at urban and architectural issues. This statistical data has been researched and analysed by a team from the London School of Economics.More than 1000 key buildings have been chosen through a rigorous selection process involving a panel of expert advisors and specialists from every region. Each building is fully illustrated with drawings and photographs, and described by a short essay. Further information includes key data such as construction cost, client name, area of the building and geographical coordinates. Cross-referencing between projects enables the user to find other buildings by the same architect included in the book. In addition, a mass of useful information is provided. This includes details of architects' practices and extensive indexes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration for the concrete jungle, 18 Nov 2008
By Guy Rogers (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A magnificent book, which is indeed current to within the last year, including buildings such as `The birds nest' used in the Chinese Olympics and Toronto's ROM, but not their recently updated AGO.

The buildings are described well in the text along with Architectural designs and copious images of the building from internal and external sources.

The layout is done well by splitting into continents and then countries and maps to should proximity. Which if one is travelling to an area, makes it easy to go and explore some of the buildings in the book.

Phaidon consistently publishes well put together books and this keeps up the trend. Like the Phaidon Design Classics set, this book comes in an interesting `carry case', as it is quite heavy !

5.0 out of 5 stars An Architectural Bible, 5 Nov 2008
I am blown away by this book. It's the best compilation of contemporary architectural designs I have seen in the most sumptuous and accessible format. The photos and plans of the projects are wonderful and really allow you to experience the building, logistically and artistically.

The book is organized via regions which are then broken down with maps to show you the exact location of each building making it really easy to use it as a reference tool. The inclusion of key data and descriptive narratives fully round off each building giving the necessary information with which to grasp the amount of work that went into its construction/act as a point of inspiration.

The Atlas is a must for all architectural practice/students and an ideal coffee table book for anybody with the slightest interest in design. Trust me, once you start turning the pages you will become more interested than ever. Simply stunning.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture, 20 Jun 2009
By Eydun Waagstein (Torshavn, The Faroe Islands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw this reference book in the bookshop in Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles in May, and thought: "I must buy a copy, but it's to heavy to take along to my homeland, The Faroe Islands." I admit, that I took a picture of it, as to not forget. When back at home, I ordered it from Amazon.co.uk. After some 10 days it landed here, at a cost that I would not believe, in comparison with the quality of the work.
To anyone interested in architecture, design, colours, and what we human beings surround us with, this work gives a perfect glance at what is being created around the world in the 21st century. It illustrates in high class photographs and short and precise informative text, all sorts of buildings around the world. Diveded into the continents and countries, the book is easy to navigate in.
