# Contemporary Architecture: Masterpieces Around the World - Hardcover

by **Chris Van Uffelen** (Author), **Markus Sebastian Braun** (Editor)

**Most wonderful diversity: How global architecture of today heads for tomorrow**  

Nearly exactly ten years after the publication of the _Atlas of World Architecture_,  
this new follow-up publication reviews the last architectural decade by  
means of current exemplary buildings from all continents. Not only have  
building tasks, techniques and styles changed greatly in the last  
decade, but the world has transformed, which is significantly reflected  
in global building culture. Conversion and sustainability have gained  
significantly in importance, and great innovative architecture has  
emerged in new regions.

The most diverse projects from temporary  
exhibition halls to mega airports are compiled and vividly presented in  
concise texts, accompanied by images and drawings. _Contemporary Architecture. Masterpieces around the World_  
is published as a new reference work that reflects the exciting  
diversity and remarkable achievements of current architecture worldwide.  
A particular focus is once again on presenting previously unknown  
masterpieces alongside the well-known highlights of today's world of  
construction.
