Classified in alphabetical order, the various entries include not only architects but also groups, movements and styles from the 18th to the 21st century. With 600 entries and illustrations, The A-Z of Modern Architecture is a source of extensive and comprehensive information which no professional, enthusiast, or architecture student can do without.
