Summary
  • "This book gives an illustrated overview of all entries submitted to the international architectural competition. It traces the competition's history from the first phase right through to the final decision and provides a valuable record of contemporary architectural trends, particularly for high-rises. It is a clear testament to the wealth and variety of creative and technological possibilities available at the start of the 21st century for remarkable architectural projects. In introductory essays the designs are discussed in the context of a global architectural debate.
  • The competition participants included many renowned architectural offices, such as Arup, Behnisch, COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, EEA, Gehry, gmp, OMA, Perrault, SOM, UN Studio and Vinoly, as well as some young, emerging architects, such as Barkow Leibinger, Gruntuch Ernst, Leeser, Llewelyn Davies and NOX."--Jacket.
