Architecture is a mixture of individual elements. Some have been around for thousands of years, while others are much more recent, emerging from today's cutting-edge technologies. To explore the elements of architecture in depth, DAMDI offers a sweeping, three-part survey of contemporary case studies from around the world. The first volume deals with the 'Entrance', the second looks at 'Stairs', and the third examines the 'Roof'. Through models, photographs, technical drawings, and sketches, hundreds of featured works represent the spectrum of architectural elements today. Includes interviews with NL Architects, Moussafir Architectes, Stefano Corbo Studio, and more.
