Product Description
Product Description
The Modern Architecture Pop-Up Book showcases three-dimensional replications of some of the most innovative modern and contemporary architecture from around the world. Accompanied by illustrations, photographs, and elaborate pop-ups, the talent and imagination of architects and builders of the modern era is brought to life. Ranging from the nineteenth century to the present day, the pages follow the development of modern architecture: the creation of new buildings and innovations that led to such feats as the Brooklyn Bridge; the birth of the skyscraper and the modern city; mid-century modernism, and the cutting-edge architecture of today. Modern Architecture Pop-Up features the following structures: London’s Crystal Palace; the Brooklyn Bridge; the Eiffel Tower; New York’s Flatiron Building; Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House, Chicago; Reitveld’s Schroeder House; Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye; Saarinen’s TWA terminal; Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao; Calatrava’s Milwaukee Art Museum; and Foster’s London "Gherkin" building, to name only a few. Innovative, informative, and elegant, Modern Architecture Pop-Up is an elegant visual tour of the world’s dynamic, inventive, and original architecture.

This is a beautiful book and very informative about the pop-up buildings which appear as each page is opened.
It looks wonderful open on a coffee table to display some of these modern architectural marvels.

Bought this as a present for my 10 year old grandson who is keen on architecture and he loves looking at it as have his whole class at school. I was so impressed that bought a copy for myself. The 3 dimensional replications of buildings range from nineteenth century until now and are both beautiful, informative and amazing and one can keep returning to the models and descriptions and always discover something new. Would recommend for anyone of any age interested in modern architecture and would be great for introducing school children to the subject. The price is amazingly cheap for a book of such quality.
