Description:
Modern architecture for young people, excitingly illustrated. Architecture is all around us, and yet most people rarely stop to think that all those houses, schools and airports were once designed by someone. What a building! is a spectacularly designed introduction to the highlights of modern architecture and the thoughts that underlie each design. By referring to all kinds of interesting sites, the book encourages further exploration. Klaas de Jong is an art historian and has written several books and publications on modern art and architecture. He is affiliated with the Academy of Architecture and works freelance for various magazines on architecture. The realization of this title was made possible in part by a subsidy from the Stimuleringsfonds voor Architectuur.
