Contemporary architecture between Lithuania and Portugal, between Iceland and Roumania is not united by their style but by the existence of a unique and individual architectural expression in each of the European countries. Around 200 of the most interesting buildings from all parts of the continent have been selected for this volume of this new series "Collection".
The volume features the best of Europe's most recent architecture covering all kinds of typologies from office buildings to airports, from churches to factories, from houses to schools. The focus is on the diversity to be found in Europe's architecture today - by the best known internationally acclaimed architects as well as the best that are at the beginning of their careers.
