Editorial Reviews

Review
''As comprehensive as it is sweeping, the Atlas is an indispensable work of reference for the architecture of our time.'' Richard Meier

''The international civilization of our hoped-for world seems somehow hinted at by the breadth of geographical reach in Phaidon's Atlas. I especially love to discover a work by an architect I haven't known in a remote place I have never seen.'' Steven Holl

''We rely on The Phaidon Atlas to continually seek out new hot spots of architecture around the world.'' Shim-Sutcliffe Architects

''This diverse collection of projects from around the globe speaks to the vitality within the current architectural landscape. Nowhere else will you find such a comprehensive survey of contemporary architecture.'' Hitoshi Abe

''The Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century of World Architecture provides readers with instant access to the full range of issues confronting architects across the globe....an inspiring compendium.'' Sean Godsell

Product Description
The Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture is a comprehensive portrayal of the finest built architecture from around the world completed since the year 2000. Divided into six world regions, the Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture provides an important overview of global and local trends in architecture for a wide range of users. The geographical contexts for twenty-first century architectural production are explored in a global framework presented in accessible graphic formats. Each of the six world regions is introduced by an in-depth look at their unique urban and architectural issues. This statistical data has been researched and analyzed by a team of from the London School of Economics.

More than 1000 key buildings have been chosen through a rigorous selection process involving a panel of expert advisors and specialists from every region. Each building is fully illustrated with drawings and photographs, and each is described by a short essay. Further information includes key data such as construction cost, client name, area of the building, and geographical coordinates. Cross-referencing between projects helps the user to find other buildings by the same architect included in the book. In addition, a mass of useful information is provided, including details about the architects' practices, as well as extensive indices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration for the concrete jungle, November 17, 2008
By Guy Rogers (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A magnificent book, which is indeed current to within the last year, including buildings such as `The birds nest' used in the Chinese Olympics and Toronto's ROM, but not their recently updated AGO.

The buildings are described well in the text along with Architectural designs and copious images of the building from internal and external sources.

The layout is done well by splitting into continents and then countries and maps to should proximity. Which if one is travelling to an area, makes it easy to go and explore some of the buildings in the book.

Phaidon consistently publishes well put together books and this keeps up the trend. Like the Phaidon Design Classics set, this book comes in an interesting `carry case', as it is quite heavy !

Although the quality of the information inside is professionally edited and very useful, only the paper quality seems weaker than the previous atlas (the phaidon atlas of contemporary architecture)

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
This book weighs a ton and has a similar price tag, however, it is worth the money and arm strain. Wonderful photos, globally comprehensive and well organized. Read more
