The host of examples ranges from places of worship such as Hagia Sophia and Brunelleschi’s Duomo to living spaces such as the Katsura Imperial Villa and the Alhambra, national icons such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Sydney Opera House, and skyscrapers such as the Seagram Building and Beijing’s CCTV headquarters. Rybczynski’s narrative emphasizes the ways that buildings across time and space are united by the human desire for order, meaning, and beauty.This is the story of architecture’s physical manifestation of the universal aspiration to celebrate, honor, and commemorate, and an exploration of the ways that each building is a unique product of patrons, architects, and builders.

Si les amoureux des vieilles pierres ont appris à aménager de nouveaux espaces très contemporains au sein d'une vieille bastide ou d'une ferme, certains architectes proclament leur différence en construisant des villas radicalement contemporaines. Jardins, terrasses et patios reflètent une nouvelle approche, souvent basée sur une technologie de pointe et une meilleure connaissance de la topographie des lieux. La vision traditionnelle de la maison provençale se renouvelle au profit d'une construction logique et rationnelle réalisée avec des matériaux nobles et bruts : le bois, le verre, l'acier et le béton se fondent au paysage provençal, dans un souci croissant du respect de la nature et de l'environnement.

Architect Peter Zumthor, a former cabinetmaker, and the firm Herzog & de Meuron produced a series of buildings at home and abroad that has paved the way for a younger generation of architects who fuse the country’s traditional materials with high-tech new tools and innovative construction methods. This book goes beyond the standard project-based survey, documenting the most important buildings of the last decade through architectural photographs that highlight the detail, volumetric play, and material experimentation of the buildings and portray them in the unique environments in which they have been designed and built.

Summary:
In his introductory essay on building in alpine areas, Otto Kapfinger brings out the common features in the architectural scenes of the two most western federal states in Austria – the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. At the same time he underlines the regional differences, considering the Rhine valley as opposed to the Inn valley. This book, written to accompany an international travelling exhibition, documents the most important examples of the architecture of the last ten years. The publication reveals that the architecture in the Austrian region of Vorarlberg is grounded in regional tradition. In recent years it has developed towards industrial building due to the changing social and economic situation. Tyrolean architecture, on the other hand, is a rather more recent phenomenon but can also be said to have made a significant contribution to contemporary building in its own right. Architects include : Baumschlager & Eberle; Arno Bereiter; Cukrowicz & Nachbaur; Dietrich & Untertrifaller; Georg Driendl; Hugo Dworzak; Roland Gnaiger ; Gohm.Hiessberger; Henke & Schreieck; Margarethe Heubacher-Sentobe; Hermann Kaufmann; Rainer Köberl; Christian Lenz; Peter Lorenz; Manzl & Sandner; Marte & Marte; Noldin & Noldin ; Johann Obermoser; Wolfgang Pöschl; Helmut Reitter; Riccione Architekten; Wolfgang Ritsch; Hanno Schlögl; Bruno Spagolla; Steinmayr & Mascher.
