Informazioni sull?autore

In Curved: Bending Architecture, the author seeks out the most sensational contemporary buildings from around the world that incorporate wave-like, rounded forms into their design. Curved forms in architecture are found throughout history (like the Colosseum in Rome) but today’s constructions explore the curve to its utmost fluid and freeform potential. From Zaha Hadid to Bosjes Chapel and from Brussels to China, this is a selection of amazing buildings by world class architects who think outside the box and have redefined the built world around us.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Contemporary architects are breaking conventions and creating volumes inspired by organic forms, where curves and undulating lines transform buildings into spectacular landmarks that challenge our perception of architecture. The examples of curvaceous designs gathered in Curved demonstrate the visual expressiveness of ovoid, sinusoid, and wave-like shapes that harmonise with their surrounding landscapes.

Featuring projects by Tadao Ando, BIG, Herzog & de Meuron, MAD Architects, Kengo Kuma, Steven Holl, UNStudio, and Zaha Hadid Architects among others.
