A comprehensive global survey of more than 300 extraordinary unbuilt architecture projects from
the 20th century to the present day The Atlas of Never Built Architecture features
hundreds of the most spectacular unbuilt projects of the 20th and 21st centuries in a
comprehensive geographically arranged survey. At times impractical or fanciful but always
imaginative and ambitious the projects included in this ground-breaking book reveal the
incredible diversity of ideas that have emerged from the world's most influential architects.
A vast array of imagery from initial sketches and paintings to etchings and digital renderings
offers insight into how architectural projects are conceived and developed and the book
features a wide-ranging selection of projects such as parliamentary buildings museums arts
centers skyscrapers artificial islands and city plans. Futuristic visions from the likes of
Frank Lloyd Wright Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier sit alongside more contemporary proposals
from talents such as Norman Foster Diller Scofidio + Renfro Steven Holl and Zaha Hadid to
show how our built environments could have looked very different indeed. |A comprehensive
