ArchitectureWeek Description Architecture, like other cultural phenomena, increasingly reflects a blend of cultures from around the world. Such "metroculture" reflects ethnically diverse cities in collisions of cultures. A rising group of practitioners is meeting the challenge of this broadening cultural landscape through strategies of quick switching, layering, and reframing that may ultimately help create a more robust modernism. The book includes the work of Teddy Cruz in Tijuana; Steven Holl in Beijing; Iain Low in South Africa; Jayne Merkel in Queens, New York; Anooradha lyer Siddiqi in Bangalore; and Leon van Schaik in Australia.
Also available Selected Architecture Posters and Prints
