This review is from: Richard Rogers (Studio Paperback) (English and German Edition) (Paperback)

This is a concise and copiously illustrated paperback survey on 208 pages of all major buildings and projects from 1966 to 1994 published under ISBN: 3764355824 by Birkhäuser (Basel...), and under ISBN: 3760881416 by Artemis (Zürich) and ISBN: 1874056552 by Artemis (London) in English and German side by side. Following 25 pages with analysis of the architect's style, each of the presented 63 works is headed by a description from just a few lines to over a page long followed by from one to several illustrations depending on work's scope. All of 481 only B&W (some multi-picture) illustrations - many of them technical (plans, sections, sketches, elevations, etc.), but also B&W photos of a good quality - are well balanced, superbly crisp and perfectly legible. On several pages at the end, there are: selected writings, a selected bibliography, list of works, etc. Like all from the Studio Paperback series, the book is solid among architectural monographs even of a bigger size. Similar to smaller books from the Works and Projects series published by Gustavo Gili (GG) in English and Spanish.
