Architects have been drawing for centuries on their creative abilities to produce astonishing works of imagination, but the greatest period of experimentation has been from the Second World War to the present.

With its copious illustrations and analyses of the early, radical work of many of today's most important architects, as well as seminal work of earlier practitioners, it is a complete resource for students and professionals and the authoritative source on a subject of essential interest for all in the world of architecture.
