AL MOMENTO ESAURITO

The Modern Architecture by Anton Radevsky (2008, Hardcover)

The Modern Architecture Pop-Up Book showcases three-dimensional replications of some of the most innovative modern and contemporary architecture from around the world. Accompanied by illustrations, photographs, and elaborate pop-ups, the talent and imagination of architects and builders of the modern era is brought to life. Ranging from the nineteenth century to the present day, the pages follow the development of modern architecture: the creation of new buildings and innovations that led to such feats as the Brooklyn Bridge; the birth of the skyscraper and the modern city; mid-century modernism, and the cutting-edge architecture of today. Modern Architecture Pop-Up features the following structures: London's Crystal Palace; the Brooklyn Bridge; the Eiffel Tower; New York's Flatiron Building; Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, Chicago; Reitveld's Schroeder House; Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye; Saarinen's TWA terminal; Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao; Calatrava's Milwaukee Art Museum; and Foster's London "Gherkin" building, to name only a few. Innovative, informative, and elegant, Modern Architecture Pop-Up is an elegant visual tour of the world's dynamic, inventive, and original architecture.
