Title: Architecture today
Description: "This international survey documents the state of architecture at the beginning of the nineties, and provides an insight into the recent past and possible future shape of our homes and cities. Charles Jencks, the critic responsible for identifying the diverse trends which have emerged in the wake of modernism, discusses late-modern, post-modern and new modern architecture. This includes the pioneering work in America, Europe and Japan of leading achitects Norman Foster, Michael Graves, Hans Hollein, Arata Isozsaki, Philip Johnson, Rob Krier, Richard Rogers, James Stirling and Robert Venturi, as well as many more examples by promising architects of a younger generation. A comprehensive reference section containing biographies of more than 100 architects, a selected bibliography of further reading and a full index completes this study. This first paperback edition has been brought up to date by the inclusion of a new introduction, new colour photographs and revised biographies."--Amazon.
