Summary:
Les bâtiments présentés dans cet ouvrage se distinguent de par leurs créativités et leurs degrés d'innovation, et marquent les nouvelles tendances de l'architecture internationale.

En dehors des ouvrages les plus emblématiques et de grande envergure, on retrouve aussi des réalisations plus modestes mais qui ne cessent de nous surprendre tant par leur fraîcheur que par leur créativité. Illustré de manière exhaustive avec des photographies en couleurs, les plans et les textes des architectes eux-mêmes, ce livre se convertit en une source d'inspiration indispensable tant pour les professionnels du secteur que pour leurs clients.

Summary:
This Architectural Design title poses a unique challenge to architects. It incites designers to respond to the limitless potential that outer space presents at the beginning of the third millennium. No longer man's final frontier restricted to the activities of government space agencies, the extraterrestial environment is soon to be opened up by private enterprises and individuals. Featured work, by those such as WAT, Shimizu Systems and the X-Prize contenders, prove that entrepreneurial companies are already producing independent pioneering designs for the first tourists. Contributing specialists from a wide range of disciplines endorse these developments: the engineer David Ashford describes the viability of developing commercial passenger planes for space tourism within decades and the economist Patrick Collins analyses the commercial rewards to be reaped from outer space. The social, legal and scientific effects of creating what could ultimately be an unlimited ecological zone beyond Earth are explored further. Just how far reaching the effects will be for the practice of architecture is suggested both by John Zukowsky's comprehensive overview of space architecture and Ted Krueger, who organised an architectural workshop with NASA. This is not, however, to overlook space's artistic impact on architectural design in the latter 20th century. Space Architecture also recognises the seductive power that high-technology space imagery has had for contemporary architects and their debt to film and TV, as well as cult figures such as David Bowie.

Summary:
L'essai d'interprétation qui conclut l'ouvrage tente de décrypter les liens parfois ténus entre l'architecture moderniste et postmoderniste à Chicago au-delà des ruptures proclamées et replace le débat entre ces deux tendances dans une perspective historique et spatiale élargie, dépassant Chicago et le contexte de la culture contemporaine américaine.
