Modern Architecture A-Z

Last weekend I stumbled across this extensive encyclopaedia of modern architecture. It was quiet a bargain so it took me only seconds to realise: I need to buy it! Unfortunately the two volumes have a colossal weight (about 9 kilos) which made the way home with this monster in hand incredibly painful. When I finally recovered from all the hardships the content of the book made up for all the pains: although I already possess a number of books about the history of modern architecture these two volumes are a welcome supplement: containing more than 1,200 pages and roughly 400 architects and their key works it accounted for a number of "who's that guy, I need to dig deeper into his work" - situations. Accordingly I can warmly recommend this handsome coffee table book to anyone in need for some proper architectural inspiration.
