Nothing could be more true than that of the last two decades. Never has architecture been so unbridled and so extraordinary: the architectural cast has never been so wide and their works so diverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat though if you are new to the subject? How is it possible to make sense of this seemingly unruly architectural landscape? There are so many different types of architecture, so many designers with such varying and even contradictory approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Directions in Contemporary Architecture\u003c\/em\u003e is a much-needed navigation guide for anyone interested in modern architecture.

A loose but effective framework is provided, which pulls all these multiple threads together, while key buildings are described individually with a unique clarity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers seminal works, such as Guggenheim Bilbao and the Jewish Museum in Berlin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeatures key architects: Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Herzog \u0026amp; de Meuron, Toyo Ito, Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel, and Renzo Piano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIllustrated with more than 220 colour images.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrder your copy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455662899436,"sku":"9780470518908","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/712Lf8M5rdL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774790380","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/new-directions-in-contemporary-architecture-by-luigi-prestinenza-puglisi-9780470518908","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
