The Power of Architecture: 25 Modern Buildings from Around the World

English

By (author): Annette Roeder

Illustrated by: Pamela Baron

Although popular culture and classrooms are filled with references to classic and iconic buildings such as the Parthenon, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the Great Pyramids, there are equally valuable lessons to be learned from modern architecture, and especially from buildings situated in the Global South and among underrepresented populations. This beautifully illustrated book investigates how contemporary architects from a variety of cultures are addressing issues of climate change, income inequality, and limited resources by designing buildings that are as innovative as they are beautiful. Each building is presented in a double-page spread featuring Pamela Barons exquisitely detailed illustrations that highlight the design, natural surroundings, and the people who live, work, or play there. Annette Roeders pitch-perfect text outlines the structures unique contribution to the field of architecture, and invites readers to wonder aloud why the building works and to find out more about it. A perfect stepping stone for designers in the making, this book also teaches kids how architecture can help the people it shelters and the planet on which it is built. See more
