| book description |

Architecture reflects the evolution of our dynamic cities, as well as responding to the demanding needs of our ever-changing society. Comfort, pleasure, convenience, cultural connotation, recognition and curiosity are essential design concerns for architectural design. This stunning collection has been carefully chosen through a rigorous selection process. In spite of differences in type, location, culture, style, historical connotation, each project has been designed to meet its purpose of showing meaning and practical applicability. 'I believe that architecture is a pragmatic art. To become art it must be built on a foundation of necessity.'- I. M. Pei, from his acceptance speech for the 1983 Pritzker Architecture Award. This book properly gives expression to practical applicability. In addition, it not only presents the facade of buildings, but also the functional zones inside. With stunning full colour interior and exterior images, detailed drawings of plans and description, the book has wide appeal to general readers, also would-be architects. Colour throughout
