Publisher's Synopsis
Museums are often the most iconic buildings to grace a city's skyline. In fact, through the very prestige of the architects involved and the innovation of material form, a new museum can easily herald a city's arrival on the world stage as a centre for art and culture. Culture and Art includes designs by Alberto Campo Baeza, Atelier Br ckner, Atsushi Kitagawara Architects, Mario Botta, Gmp - von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects, Steven Holl Architects and Zaha Hadid - many with accompanying plans.
