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
