Radical Architecture of the Future by Beatrice Galilee Phaidon Book

Architectural practice today goes far beyond the design and construction of buildings. The most exciting, forward-thinking architecture is also found in digital landscapes, art, apps, films, installations and virtual reality. This remarkable book features projects -- surprising, beautiful, outrageous, and sometimes even frightening -- that break rules and shatter boundaries. In this timely book, the work of award-winning architects, designers, artists, photographers, writers, filmmakers and researchers -- all of whom synthesize and reflect our spatial environments -- comes together for the first time.

Radical Architecture of the Future's featured architects includes Diller Scofidio + Renfro, David Adjaye, SANAA, Amateur Architecture Studio, and Ensamble Studio. Artists, designers, filmmakers and writers covered include Julie Mehretu, Wolfgang Tillmans, and John Gerrard.
