It features the work of such international stars as Robert Venturi, Frank Gehry and Michael Graves; "next-wave" artists of the 1980s such as Thom Mayne, Steven Holl, Katherine McCoy and David Carson; and today's emerging young designers, including Karim Rashid, Christopher Deam and Ross Menuez. Arranged both chronologically and stylistically, this illustrated volume offers essays that track four distinct directions that the field of design has taken since 1975.
