Sourcebook of Contemporary Urban Design

From plazas to parks, waterfronts to rooftops, The Sourcebook of Contemporary Urban Design by art and architecture editor Francesc Zamora Mola, showcases an outstanding collection of more than 300 global examples of contemporary urban design from around the world.

Sourcebook of Contemporary Urban Design presents more than 300 noteworthy case studies in its 600 pages, the first large-scale book of its kind to showcase a complete and diverse range of structures worldwide. The case studies incorporate many types of urban space projects, indoor and outdoor, making this lushly illustrated, information-rich book an invaluable resource that architects and architectural students will turn to again and again.

Each case study includes a succinct description of the project at hand, listing its name, client, and location and presenting its unique objectives, challenges, and solutions. Every case study also features numerous full-colour photographs and detailed renderings of site and floor plans. Finally, each case study provides a full listing of those involved in the project: the design firm and its participating architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors.
