At times impractical or fanciful but always imaginative and ambitious, the projects included in this ground-breaking book reveal the incredible diversity of ideas that have emerged from the world's most influential architects. Including a vast array of imagery, from initial sketches and paintings to etchings and digital renderings, the book offers insight into how architectural projects are conceived and developed, and features a wide-ranging selection of projects, such as parliamentary buildings, museums, arts centres, skyscrapers, artificial islands, and city plans. Futuristic visions from the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, and Le Corbusier, sit alongside more contemporary proposals from talents such as Norman Foster, Diller, Scofidio + Renfro, Steven Holl, and Zaha Hadid to show how our built environments could have looked very different indeed.
