A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"But that′s far from all. Beautifully and liberally illustrated with photographs and drawings of case studies in this new form, Architecture and Science itself looks like a work of art. The futuristic look of many of the designs is all the more astonishing when you realize that many of these buildings already exist as thigns and not just concepts. And whatever you may feel about the aesthetics of such "modern" structures, understanding the marriage of art and science– in a union tighter than ever– from which they sprang might make you seem them in a new light." (Civil Engineering, Dec 2001)
