Contents:

Charles McKim, William Mead, and Stanford White -- Frank Lloyd Wright -- Le Corbusier -- Bauhaus -- Ernst May and Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky -- Oscar Niemeyer -- Edward Durell Stone -- Eero Saarinen -- R. Buckminster Fuller -- Carlo Scarpa -- James Stirling -- Renzo Piano -- Rem Koolhaas -- Bernard Tschumi -- Tod Williams and Billie Tsien -- Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa -- Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, and Charles Renfro -- Snøhetta -- Michael Arad.

Summary: From profiles of such universally admired masters as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier to emerging figures including Michael Arad, creator of New York City?s National September 11 Memorial, and the international design collaborative Snøhetta, Filler?s shifting focus remains consistently trained on the enduring values of great architecture. His panoramic vision encompasses the historically inspired Gilded Age urbanism of the celebrated New York bon vivant Stanford White as well as the expressive collages of ancient and modern elements orchestrated by the reclusive Venetian intellectual Carlo Scarpa. The increasing role of women in architecture is given special emphasis in this new collection, from the pioneering work in 1920s Germany of Margarete Schuẗte-Lihotzky, inventor of the standardized modern kitchen, to such innovative contemporary practitioners as Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, and Billie Tsien.
