Synopsis

Cesar Pelli, born in Argentina, became famous with his smooth buildings enclosed in taut walls of coloured glass and his elegant towers, such as the World Financial Center in New York and the Canary Wharf Tower in London. In 1997, his design for the world's tallest building, the Petronas Towers, was erected in Malaysia. More than 20 current buildings in the U.S., Asia and Europe present solutions to the most diverse buildings tasks. The author documents, among others, the famous Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Edificio Republica in Buenos Aires, the Zurich Tower in Den Haag, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Osaka, the Physics and Astronomy building in Seattle, Washington National Airport and the NTT Shinjuku Headquarters in Tokyo. Urban tasks, such as the master plan for the University of Texas at Austin, are also presented.
