Synopsis

There is no better way to see how a piece of architecture fits in with its surroundings than to observe its pure white silhouette. A new appreciation for architectural form and creative genius develops when the viewer is confronted with the blank space where a building used to be, but now, on the page, is not. Featuring ancient marvels and contemporary gems, the conspicuously absent work of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Zaha Hadid, Frank Lloyd Wright and many more provides for a delightful trip around the world for architecture and design lovers.
