ArchitectureWeek Description
This volume presents a number of the world's most dramatic examples of sculptural architecture -structures that transcend rational, utilitarian functionality to capture far more intangible visions, dreams, principles, and emotions. As a result, the distinct outlines of Wright's Guggenheim Museum, the Sydney Opera House, Pei's National Gallery, and Piano and Roger's Centre Pompidou are recognizable as both sculpture and architecture. In addition - other architects (Le Corbusier, Niemeyer, Gehry) are examined by critic Werner Sewing. An introductory to the historical basis of the sculptural path from Ledoux to Le Corbusier, eighteenth century England's Expressionist and organic Russian Constructivists with deconstructivism.
