Rezensionen
'Beautifully decorated with maps, plans and photographs, all presented on a fine matte surface, and illustrating the simple assertion that developments in engineering push the frontiers of architecture. This is a point that cannot be overstated, and underpins every page of this excellent study of architecture's most outstanding exponents' - Burlington Magazine
