Description

Used for millennia to build everything from homes to temples and aqueducts, brick is still one of the most popular and versatile building materials in the world. In Contemporary Brick Buildings, author Philip Jodidio explores the use of brick in avant-garde architecture. This multilingual book brings together some of the most inspired and innovative architectural projects that have put this eco-friendly material in a new light. Created over the past 35 years by talented architects, whether up-and-coming or world-famous, these buildings vary widely from residential to cultural and leisure spaces. Examples include the Tate Modern Switch House in London, the Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names in Amsterdam, the Boa School Restaurant in Lille-Lomme, and the Maternity Waiting Village in Kasungu, Malawi. Published by Taschen, Contemporary Brick Buildings features beautiful photography and accompanying texts in English, German and French. A great gift for architecture fans.
