This global examination of boundary-pushing architecture challenges our perception of how buildings ought to look - and reveals how even the most unusual constructions can achieve iconic statuts. In this fascinating exploration of 100 controversial buildings, readers will discover not only how each building was constructed, but also the motivation behind its design and the ensuing debates.
