Contents:

Extreme locations -- Reinvention -- Get better -- Pop-up -- Shape-shifters -- Drive -- Nature building -- Shelter from the storm -- Shrink -- Social catalysts -- Fast-forward.

Summary: We're asking more of architecture than ever before; the response will define our future. A pavilion made from paper. A building that eats smog. An inflatable concert hall. A research lab that can walk through snow. We're entering a new age in architecture -- one where we expect our buildings to deliver far more than just shelter. We want buildings that inspire us while helping the environment; buildings that delight our senses while serving the needs of a community; buildings made possible both by new technology and repurposed materials. Like an architectural cabinet of wonders, this book collects the most innovative buildings of today and tomorrow.
