Contemporary World Architecture

A comprehensive survey of international architecture from the late 1960s to the end of the twentieth century, this book offers a critical study of the social, cultural and political changes that together have shaped the built environment. It presents more than 600 recent public and private buildings by many of the world’s leading protagonists and examines the evolution of new architectural solutions.

‘This is surely the most comprehensive guide we have to the recent history of architecture.’

‘A major contribution to late twentieth century architectural writing.’
