Architecture in the United Kingdom

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE BY COUNTRY

TASCHEN's new architecture series brings a unique per- spective to world architecture, highlighting architectural trends by country. Each book features 15 to 20 architects-from the firmly established to the up-and-coming-with the focus on how they have contributed to very recent architecture in the chosen nation. Entries include contact information and short biographies in addition to copiously illustrated descriptions of the architects' or firms' most significant recent projects. Cross- ing the globe from country to country, this new series cele- brates the richly hued architectural personality of each nation featured.

Series author: Philip Jodidio studied art history and eco- nomics at Harvard University, and was Editor-in-Chief of the leading French art journal Connaissance des Arts for over two decades.
