About This Book

Architecture appears as a long road that began when the first stone was placed upon another, with each generation answering the question it inherited through a new wall, window or material. The road passes through Art Nouveau, Marinetti's Futurism, German Expressionism, Gropius's Bauhaus in Weimar, Russian Constructivism, Le Corbusier's Modernism, Functionalism, the International Style named in New York, Art Deco and postwar Brutalism. Then come Postmodernism, Deconstructivism, the High-Tech of the Centre Pompidou, the American story from Chicago's towers to the prairie horizon, Parametricism, sustainable design and artificial intelligence. The epilogue stands back to see the whole road and ends with the dream that has not yet been built.

Architecture is not a collection of buildings scattered through time

Before straight lines conquered architecture

And with the dream that has not yet been built
