The interesting volume shows us the major movements in international
architecture today through a selection of recently executed projects
which portray the situation visually.
The book attempts to present all those movements and forms considered
ARCHITECTURE through a series controversial topics.
It is based on the notion that "architecture should exist but doesn't really".
In other words, it strives to show the two sides of architecture.
