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.
