After the Fall - Architecture in a new Economic Climate
TASCHEN's Architecture Now! 7 features an arching overview of today's architecture, from modern to radically avant-garde. As with previous books in the series, Architecture Now! 7 includes a broad variety of projects from around the world, as well as some works of art that have a direct relation to architecture, from the likes of Giacomo Costa or Shinro Ohtake. It also explores how the recent economic downturn has led to fewer large-scale projects, but has also stimulated creative thinking, as architects find new ways to work imaginatively inside budget constraints. Large-scale works include the futuristic Chinese Central TV Tower in Beijing (OMA) and the Burj Khalifa (SOM), the world's tallest tower and centerpiece of the Gulf region's most prestigious urban development to date.
For anyone interested in the zeitgeist and building design in the 21st century, Architecture Now! 7 is an essential work of reference. Easy-to-navigate illustrated A–Z entries include current and recent projects, biographies, contact information, and websites.

После кризиса – Архитектура в новых экономических условиях
Книга представляет всеобъемлющий обзор современной архитектуры от модернизма до радикального авангарда. Как и предыдущие книги серии, «Архитектура сегодня! 7» включает в себя широкий спектр проектов по всему миру, а также некоторые произведения искусства, которые имеют прямое отношение к архитектуре, от таких авторов как Джакомо Коста или Синро Отаке. В книге также рассматривается, как недавний экономический спад привел к уменьшению числа крупных проектов и стимулировал творческое мышление, как архитекторы нашли новые способы работы внутри при бюджетных ограничениях. Обзор включает такие проекты как футуристическая центральная телебашня в Пекине (ОМА) и Бурж Халифа (SOM) – самый высокий небоскреб мира.
Книга для всех кто интересуется архитектурой 21 века. Авторы представлены в алфавитном порядке от A до Z. В книге собраны новейшие проекты, биографии и контактная информация авторов.
