Architecture Now! 1

The book provides snippets for each of the studies in English, French and German. Unfortunately, the texts are dull and provide little insight. Furthermore, the English text is singled out in a difficult to read blue color.

Interesting and craptastic buildings/projects are shown side by side with no enlightening comment. It works as a catalog, but the lack of systematics in providing e.g. ground plans devalues it also as reference.

All in all, some of the images are quite stimulating and the value is extremely for the price; I will be attentive to the further volumes of the series. ( )
