From the Back Cover
Contemporary architects are breaking conventions and creating volumes inspired by organic forms, where curves and undulating lines transform buildings into spectacular landmarks that challenge our perception of architecture. The examples of curvaceous designs gathered in Curved demonstrate the visual expressiveness of ovoid, sinusoid, and wave-like shapes that harmonise with their surrounding landscapes.
Featuring projects by Tadao Ando, BIG, Herzog & de Meuron, MAD Architects, Kengo Kuma, Steven Holl, UNStudio, and Zaha Hadid Architects among others.
