Written by three architectural journalists, this book cuts the world's greatest and most provocative practicing architects down to size, both the old and established and the rising stars. With two fully illustrated pages for each architect, a clear, lively design, and an alphabetical organization, "Architects Today" breaks down the usual arcane architectural categorizations.
