New Architecture London
London has always been known for its iconic buildings, but the city has recently witnessed an explosion of new architecture from the worlds most acclaimed architects. This breathtaking volume offers a fascinating look at the citys rapidly changing skyline and celebrates the enormous array of styles, materials, and cutting-edge technology that have been employed by todays leading architects. The projects profiled herebrought to life by photographer Richard Schulmanrange from dance and aquatic centers to world-class museums and global office headquarters. The book includes Rafael Viñolys Walkie-Talkie and The Gherkin by Foster + Partners, as well as Renzo Pianos mixed-use skyscraper, The Shard, across the Thames. Tucked into a medieval alley, OMAs New Court Rothschild Bank nimbly juxtaposes contemporary features with more traditional ones. Meanwhile, alongside St. Pauls Cathedral, Jean Nouvels One New Change cleverly plays off its storied environs with an ingeniously constructed glass block that allows for multiple views of the iconic church. From the Tate Modern extension to the Emirates Airline tram, and from the Peckham Library to the US Embassy building, no new stone is left unturned or unremarked upon. This book demonstrates how one of the worlds oldest cities manages to feel eternally new and exciting.
