I have the entire series, 2008-12-17
by Cody Bornsheuer (Champaign, IL)

These books aren't technical in nature, but are a great collection of interesting projects from around the world. Each book comes in 3 languages, so for those of you that only speak one of them, you'll only enjoy 1/3 of the text, but the graphics are fantastic.

by Khaled Dewidar

I recieved the two volumes of 100 Contemporary architects. They were in a goog condition, but the box of the two books was completely destroyed.

exceptionally poor service, 2008-06-04
by Randolph J. Loew (NYC area)

Amazon claimed they were sending a new book but it arrived with a peeled spine. They claimed that it would be replaced but nothing arrived. This
is the first time I have experienced poor service and not from a vendor,
but rather, Amazon itself!

Art, architecture, and more., 2007-08-29
by Nse Ette (Lagos, Nigeria)

This is a nice little coffee table styled book on architecture and artwork, showcasing about 92 architects and a few of their works. Its small size makes it easy to take along with you wherever you go.

Each architect gets two pages devoted to them, comprising a brief biography highlighting some of their notable works, as well as photos and/or sketches showcasing one or two of their works.

Some of the architects and works featured include Alberto Campo Baeza (Center for innovative technologies in Majorca), Will Bruder (Byrne residence in Arizona), Frank Gehry (Experience Music Project in Seattle), Arata Isokazi (Shizuoka convention and arts center in Shizuoka), Polshek Partnership (the very space age Rose center for earth & science in New York), and Richard Rogers (Law courts in Bordeaux, and Millennium Dome in London).

A good book.
