Archilab : Radical Experiments in Global Architecture

This volume reflects the tremendous changes in the aesthetic of young architects engaged in the complicated issues raised by computerization and globalization. Profiles of 60 architects are arranged alphabetically and begin with a general artistic statement by or about the individual, followed by photographs and descriptions of their most recent projects, and a boxed summary of biographical and professional details. The 14 essays by leading critics, historians, and theoreticians discuss various aspects of the field. Beautifully illustrated and produced with about 2,300 color images. Edited by Migarou (architecture, Centre Pompidou) and art critic Marie-Ange Brayer. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
