1.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration from the 80's..., August 2, 2008
This review is from: More for Inspiration Only (Paperback)
If you want inspiration, I suggest looking elsewhere... The images in this book look like they were taken in the 80's. As for the concepts associated with the images... they leave much to be desired. Not enough bang for the buck. Don't buy this book. Ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, astonishing, absolutely cool!, July 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: More for Inspiration Only (Paperback)
We belive that all the clashing elements of midcentury technology are fused into a single art of architecture thanks to the work of Jan Kaplicky. His architecture emraced the precision of the armaments industry; the lightness, structural rigidity and strenth-through shape of aircraft construction,and the compactness and performance of the automobile.
