An overview of the finest built architecture from around the world completed between 1900 and 1999. Specially designed and commissioned graphics at the start of the atlas explore the changing economic and political contexts of architectural production throughout this fascinating century, and highlight the flow of architectural ideas and architects around the globe.
Divided into six world regions and 29 sub-regions, over 80 countries are represented. Every building is located on maps that are defined by contemporary political geography, with detailed information accompanying each project, which is fully illustrated and described by a short text.
