what makes a building architecture?
throughout the conversations featured in the book, belogolovsky asks questions such as what makes a building architecture? and how would a futurist solve problems vs those whose focus is on nostalgia? with responses from over 100 well-known figures, the publication offers readers a diverse range of opinions and ideas from past to present, and from some who are no longer with us.
each profile is accompanied by a thought provoking quote and stunning full color illustrations of important projects, which the author has carefully selected to perfectly match the stories told. available from may 22, 2022, ‘imagine buildings floating like clouds’ promises to be a great coffee table book for architects and architecture lovers alike.
