1000 x EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE -- PART 3

1000 GLOSSY PAGES OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE


The second edition of 1000 x European Architecture, published in 2011, has totally new projects.


While we love this vivid book, the one negative is the writing.


Hundreds of individual firms submitted write ups on their projects for the original book, published in German.

Think of translating dozens of native tongues into a harmonized book in English.

The wording can get a tiny bit awkward -- but it's the lavish images -- at least a half dozen per page -- that sell this sleek volume.


Book review of 1000 x European Architecture
continues tomorrow, October 13

The book sells for $125.
