Description: More than thirty architects from nineteen countries, from famous names to little-known innovators, have used the latest technological advances to bring their constructions into being, blurring the line that separates the everyday from the realms of science fiction. All these structures challenge convention and break the mould. Whether inspired by NASA capsules or nautilus shells, these buildings show that imagination and creativity can work on a variety of scales and budgets, and can set a thought-provoking agenda for an alternative architecture of tomorrow.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 190-191) and index.
