Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder of Architizer.com and practicing architect draws on his unique position at the crossroads of architecture and social media to highlight 100 important buildings that embody the future of architecture. We’re asking more of architecture than ever before; the response will define our future. A pavilion made from paper. A building that eats smog. An inflatable concert hall. A research lab that can walk through snow. We’re entering a new age in architecture—one where we expect our buildings to deliver far more than just shelter. We want buildings that inspire us while helping the environment; buildings that delight our senses while serving the needs of a community; buildings made possible both by new technology and repurposed materials. Like an architectural cabinet of wonders, this book collects the most innovative buildings of today and tomorrow. The buildings hail from all seven continents (to say nothing of other planets), offering a truly global perspective on what lies ahead. Each page captures the soaring confidence, the thoughtful intelligence, the space-age wonder, and at times the sheer whimsy of the world’s most inspired buildings—and the questions they provoke: Can a building breathe? Can a skyscraper be built in a day? Can we 3D-print a house? Can we live on the moon? Filled with gorgeous imagery and witty insight, this book is an essential and delightful guide to the future being built around us—a future that matters more, and to more of us, than ever.

Book excerpt: As the guardians of the world's artistic heritage, museums have always played in important role in our culture. However, the buildings themselves are sometimes superb masterpieces and splendid examples of a vast array of styles. From the controversial Louvre Pyramid to the stylistic elegance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this sophisticated work offers an overview of the architecture of the world's most famous museums. Giulia Camin, the author, has written a superb history of museums accompanied by architectural plans, detailed drawings and photographs of the interiors and façades. The visual images are interspersed with information about the architects and engineers who played a key role in the design and construction of these important buildings. The book focuses on a selection of museums scattered all over the world, including the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Prado in Madrid, the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and the huge Smithsonian Complex in Washington DC. The volume takes the reader on a tour of several modern masterpieces, such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind, and the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao by Frank Gehry, considered by many to be the most important museum building of the 20th century. The photographs, commissioned specially for the book, show the innovative design of the interior of the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem, where the different heights of the ceilings and varying intensity of the lighting of the mainly underground galleries create the ideal atmosphere for recalling the Holocaust. The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, in contrast, stands almost 1000 feet above sea level and is topped by a first-class restaurant that offers panoramic views over the principality and the coast. This book is an essential resource for students of architecture, professional architects and culture-loving travelers eager to visit some of the most famous museums in the world. 686 colour photographs
