The Power of Architecture:

From private homes to shelters, markets and schools, opera houses to factories, museums and libraries, this book explores how architects of diverse backgrounds and cultures are tackling problems such as climate change, income inequality and declining resources by designing buildings that are as innovative as they are fascinating. The exquisite illustrations emphasize the design of the buildings in their surroundings and also show the people who live, work, or play there. The descriptive text highlights the building's unique contribution to architectural history, explains why the building works, and tells of its unique features.
