During the 1990s, a number of architects in many countries have been developing a new, pioneering but buildable architecture for the onset of the 21st century. The 35 whose work is presented here are among the most original and talented. All reflect the spirit of our times. More than 170 color pictures of more than 60 projects reveal a pluralist architecture that augurs well for the future.

Review
Architecture Of The Future surveys the work of 35 prominent architects, including Lebbeus Woods, Cop Himmelblau, Franklin D. Israel, Eric Owen Moss, Frank O. Gehry, Emilio Ambasz, Morphosis, Asymptote Architecture, and Diller & Scofidio. Architecture Of The Future presents everything from blueprint to scale model to super structure in a straightforward manner. In addition to over 180 full-color photographs and drawings, Architecture Of The Future features seven texts by major contemporary architects: Emilio Ambasz, Peter Cook, Itsuko Hasegawa, Daniel Libeskind, Jean Nouvel, Sir Richard Rogers, and Bernard Tschumi. With an introduction and a foreword that sets the various architects' projects in context, Architecture Of The Future is an excellent book of reference that brings a unique vision two the architecture of the 21st Century. Architecture Of The Future is a well-researched, meticulously written, beautifully presented, highly-deserving contribution to any personal, academic, or public architectural studies collection. -- Midwest Book Review
