The most diverse projects from temporary
exhibition halls to mega airports are compiled and vividly presented in
concise texts, accompanied by images and drawings. Contemporary Architecture. Masterpieces around the World
is published as a new reference work that reflects the exciting
diversity and remarkable achievements of current architecture worldwide.

masterpieces alongside the well-known highlights of today's world of
construction.
