reviewed 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die: Architectural Masterpieces on February 25, 2008 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die: Architectural Masterpieces
Not necessarily the best book about architecture ever by any means, but probably one of the most entertaining and attractive, and oddly compelling and addictive overviews of noteworthy buildings that I've read. And for those who don't "get" modernism and futurism and all those other mid-century movements, it provides a really sensitive and approachable guide to the core values driving these aesthetic philosophies.
