Description
|
|
|
|
The idea of designing on or near water has long held a fascination for architects. This beautifully illustrated book presents 47 such structures all over the world, from a thatch-roofed island bungalow over the water in the Maldives to a cluster of museum buildings perched on the edge of Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, covered with a gigantic domed sun shade. Here too are Dubai's luxury islands, artificial city suburbs like Crystal Island in Moscow, and even entire new cities like Island City in Japan. The architects featured include such modern masters as Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, I.M. Pei, Renzo Piano, and Tadao Ando, as well as younger practitioners from emerging studios.
