Summary: Cutting Edge Architecture.
Comment: What I liked about this book is that it has introduced me to some new architects that I have not heard about previously in any other of the many books I have read.

What I don't like about this book is that it shows very little of each architects projects and some of the photo's where done using a very poor resolution camera, making for some very grainy pictures.

If your interested in the organic style of architecture then I would recommend adding it to your library. There is some very original stuff inside this book that just might spark some new ideas in your own practice.

Summary: New Organic Architecture
Comment: Some of the 28 architects who have contributed to this stimulating anthology might be surprised by the company they are in, which ranges from the cool rationalism of Tadao Ando to the romantic nationalism of Imre Makovecz. However, the eclecticism of Pearson's choice is justified, for organic architecture has always been the province of defiant individualists, from Wright on. Sensuous curves and fractal geometries, primitive and sophisticated technologies, earth and steel are all embraced by architects united only by their desire to break out of the box. Pearson emphasizes the spiritual dimensions and the affinities between natural and man-made forms, as well as the feminine side of design-though only one woman shows up on his list.
