DESCRIPTION:
In addition, these Pritzker Prizewinning architects have developed a topographical conception of architecture that not only locates their designs in a larger context but also frequently structures them as landscapes. The publication contains essays by the architects themselves in which they situate their projects. Pathbreaking museum structures such as the Schaulager near Basel, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the De Young Museum in San Francisco continue the conversation surrounding what constitutes a truly contemporary presentation of modern art.. The structures presented include such icons of contemporary architecture as the Prada store in Tokyo Aoyama and the Allianz Arena in Munich, where the opening game of the 2006 Soccer World Cup was played. The projects and structures they have built since then are distinguished by the sensitive treatment of materials for which the architects are renowned. In order to represent them, the layout of volume 4 of the complete works has been completely redesigned. The Tate Modern in London made Herzog & Meuron famous all over the world

JLK said Reorganized. poorly. I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer before me. I just flipped through the fourth volume this weekend at a local bookstore and was surprised at the lack of quality and organization that made the first three volumes stand out amongst other HdeM monographs.Granted, there are many more projects presented in this volume then others, but each project is given only a couple pages, with some writing and a smattering of small, almost indiscernible images of sketches and photos. The drawings (plans/sections/etc) of all of the projects are lumped together in the middle, and a. Matthew J. Christie said Major DisappointmentNot worth the cheap paper it is printed on!. The long awaited Major DisappointmentNot worth the cheap paper it is printed on! Matthew J. Christie The long awaited 4th volume does not come close to the quality of the first three volumes. This book does a disservice to the quality of projects covered in the book. The graphic design/layout looks like a high school student laid it out [bad fonts, spacing, etc].The format/project layout has changed. Within the project layouts there are no large images. It looks as though they searched the internet for their project images and could only find a series of thumbnail images [which they then have haphazardly arrayed across a couple of pages]. You get 20 sub-par images in p. th volume does not come close to the quality of the first three volumes. This book does a disservice to the quality of projects covered in the book.
