Contemporary Concrete Buildings (Bibliotheca Universalis) (Multilingual Edition)

i have a serious architecture and design fetish, books in the hundreds mostly around modernism. This arrived today and volume 2 of the set became my all-time fave due to the excellent up-to-the-minute inclusions. they are all here. zaha hadid, tadao ando, etc. nice,glossy finish,tons of modern photos,and the set feels like it was made of concrete, it is so haeavy and chock full of goodness. highly, highly recommend it if you love modern design, tadao ando styled concrete homes with cool art and furniture. buy with no fear.

These are two great massive heavy books that come in a sleeve. Really well designed and beautiful content. A great gift for architecture nerds and materials nerds alike. These are lovely and I will refer to them often.

Beautiful presentation. If architecture is your thing, this double volume is a must for your collection.

Philip Jodidio is the 'go-to' guy for architectural monographs and/or a compendium of style/trends in the world of architecture and design. For anyone tied to the field, this is a much needed and warmly welcomed addition to one's library. Unlike many counterparts who choose/selected the expected 'greatest hits' in such an offering, Jodidio surprises his reader answering the all important question, "Tell me something I don't know."I always am on the outlook for offerings by this author. Truly a welcomed addition to my evolving collection of illustrated resources on a field I not only admire and appreciate, but also is a major element of my professional livelihood.

Great book for a man cave or male office. Purchased for my husband who works in construction for his home off. The book goes with anything and has a slight textured covered.

Got it as a gift and it was greatly loved and appreciated. Great for someone who is seeking architecture or development inspiration!

Given to a friend who gave them to his employees. Apparently they really liked them.

Wonderful book with a incredible price. Very recommended for architects and designers.
