"Architects have always dreamed of shaping the future, of building utopian worlds filled with seemingly impossible structures that break with the past to propel mankind far into the twenty-first century and beyond. Buildings for Tomorrow reviews forty such visionary projects that appear to come from futures that mankind has so far only imagined. Buildings for Tomorrow reviews forty such visionary projects that appear to come from futures that mankind has so far only imagined. Spread across nineteen countries, over thirty architects, from famous names to little-known innovators, have combined the latest technological advances with their boundless creative energy to bring their constructions into being."--BOOK JACKET.
