Atlas. Global Architecture circa 2000 proposes a critical assessment of world architecture in our global times: both a “state of the art” and a “state of the planet” in the years from 1990 to 2007, that is, circa 2000. Eleven experts explore the architecture of the same number of world regions, offering a general analysis rounded off by a study of three of the area’s most representative works. Photographs, plans and illustrations complete a volume that is itself a work of art.
