More Description
Commemorating buildings that have gone against tradition in order to make technological progress and to place architecture in a direct relationship with nature, this remarkable compilation illustrates buildings from the past 250 years that have made history because of their eccentricity. Each building profile includes photographs, the location, the name and vision of the architect who created it, and the story behind its construction. From castles, cathedrals, and hotels to homes, concert halls, and even bus stops, this diverse collection discusses unique buildings that are expressions of an architect's personal vision and those that are truly works of art, having transcended the limits of design and construction.
Conmemorando los edificios que han ido en contra de la tradici#65533;n para adentrarse en la tecnolog#65533;a y en una relaci#65533;n directa con la naturaleza, esta compilaci#65533;n notable ilustra edificios de los #65533;ltimos 250 a#65533;os que son hist#65533;ricamente importantes por su excentricidad. Cada perfil de edificio incluye fotograf#65533;as, el sitio, el nombre y la visi#65533;n del arquitecto que lo cre#65533; y la historia de su construcci#65533;n. Desde castillos, catedrales y hoteles hasta hogares, salas de conciertos y a#65533;n paradas de autob#65533;s, esta colecci#65533;n diversa discute los edificios #65533;nicos que son expresiones de la visi#65533;n personal de un arquitecto y los que son verdaderamente obras de arte, habiendo transcendido los l#65533;mites del dise#65533;o y la construcci#65533;n.
