Creative Perspective In Architecture

Description

As this monograph demonstrates, creativity in architecture is found not only in the form but also the interpretation of the site and the use of materials. The twelve works collected here demonstrate some or all of these elements, and are examined through generous colour photographs, plans, elevations and details. Highlights among works featured include, Zumthor’s ‘Brother Klaus Field Chapel,’ Herzog & de Meuron’s Caixaforum, Carme Pinós’ Torre Cube, Ito’s Tama Art University Library, and Heringer + Roswag’s ‘School Handmade’ in Bangladesh.
