The contributors were encouraged to select built projects where formal, spatial, technological, and organizational concepts responded to dynamic historical, cultural, social, and political circumstances. The capacity of these buildings to resist, adapt, and invent new typologies solidifies their timeless relevance to future challenges.  The result is presented here in this unique volume: a master list of the top 100  must-know  built works of architecture designed and completed between 1900 and 2000. Ranging from houses and apartment buildings to museums and buildings for education and government, the book offers a wealth of extraordinary works of design and construction and is an essential edition for anyone with an interest in architecture and design.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729573355793,"sku":"NGR9780847859504","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51602895110417,"sku":"CIN0847859509G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53371469070609,"sku":"CIN0847859509A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847859509.jpg?v=1751233461"},{"product_id":"strange-networks-book-thom-mayne-9780847869411","title":"Strange Networks","description":"An exquisitely crafted, large format volume featuring new and previously unpublished artwork by legendary architect Thom Mayne, principal of Morphosis Architects.  Strange Networks debuts a new body of artwork and studies by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne. Emerging from the same interests that shape the design philosophy of his internationally renowned architecture firm Morphosis, the works explore the tension between organizational systems and chance behavior, between the manual and digital, and between individual and collective authorship. Reproduced in exquisite detail, the intricate lithographic prints and digitally derived sculptural works--or \"drawdels\" for how they combine the notion of drawing and modelling--embody a search for forms and methods resonant with our contemporary state of instability and hyper-connection.  With a foreword by Thom Mayne and essays by Stefano Casciani, Sir Peter Cook, Craig Hodgetts, and Frédéric Migayrou.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738519707921,"sku":"NGR9780847869411","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847869415.jpg?v=1750746544"},{"product_id":"m-book-thom-mayne-9780847872756","title":"M","description":"An exhaustive and resounding masterpiece of architectural publishing, this volume, Rizzoli s seventh on Morphosis and its founder, architect Thom Mayne, features the work of the award-winning interdisciplinary architectural and design practice through a careful and comprehensive look at the models upon which all the rest has been built: a 40-plus-year office retrospective, and a love letter to models, their process and concepts, and those that made them. As the name entails, the monograph will include only models, no drawings or explanative building photography, in order to bolster the power and prominence of models in the design process, as presentation material, and within conceptual scope of Morphosis. In addition to models never-before documented or published, the book will also include outside commentary from architecture historians and critics, such as Kenneth Frampton, practicing architects, such as Rem Koolhass, and ex-Morphosis model builders that will explain the power of models in the design practice, unite critical themes embedded in a project s models, and expand the theoretical discourse surrounding Morphosis s work over the past forty years. In essence, the model is not only the concept of the book but rather a vehicle for discussing the broader aims of architecture and exhibiting the conceptual DNA of the office.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742906130705,"sku":"NGR9780847872756","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51421502472465,"sku":"CIN0847872750G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847872750.jpg?v=1750818998"},{"product_id":"morphosis-book-thom-mayne-9780847830725","title":"Morphosis","description":"One of the few truly visionary architects of large-scale commissions working today, Thom Mayne's influential firm Morphosis, founded in the early 1970s, has maintained an avant-garde presence among contemporary architecture firms, even as it has garnered high-profile, big-budget commissions from around the world. Since Rizzoli published Volume I of the Morphosis series in 1989, the Los Angeles-based firm has continued to push its intricate modernism into new territories. In the tradition of its four visually groundbreaking predecessors, this fifth volume packs 500 illustrations into a comprehensive tour of Morphosis's activity. New works covered in Volume V include Cal Trans Headquarters in Los Angeles (2004); the San Francisco Federal Office building (2006); the Wayne L. Morse United States Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon (2006); and the University of Cincinnati Student Recreation Center (2006). Projects in progress, such as the New Academic Building for the Cooper Union in New York (expected completion 2008) and the Phare Tower for La Defense, France (2012), will also be featured.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49777189617937,"sku":"CIN0847830721G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847830721.jpg?v=1750746499"},{"product_id":"morphosis-book-thom-mayne-9780714840703","title":"Morphosis","description":"This monograph is the first to document all of the key built works by Morphosis, a Los Angeles-based practice headed by Thom Mayne and one of the most influential architecture firms of the past 20 years. Morphosis' unconventional geometries, beautifully executed, sculptural models and complex, computer-generated drawings stimulated a new era of architectural experimentation in the early 1980s.   This book consists of bold, documentary-style colour photographs of 35 completed buildings presented in an almost cinematic layout, and publishes for the first time together all of Morphosis' completed work in its entirety: from the early residential and restaurant projects in Los Angeles to the most up-to-the-minute large-scale work beyond California and the United States in Canada, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Austria.   Mayne's oeuvre is characterized by intellectual rigour and artistic vigour, both of which this monograph captures with combined clarity and flair.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50236495266065,"sku":"CIN071484070XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53534476206353,"sku":"GOR005209570","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071484070X.jpg?v=1751295043"},{"product_id":"morphosis-book-thom-mayne-9780847820740","title":"Morphosis","description":"Volume 3 in this series reflects the firm's avant-garde approach to design with computer-generated images in a hypertextual presentation that radically departs from conventional architectural monographs.
