De la contraportada
In Why You Can Build It Like That, John Zukowsky examines buildings from the past half century or so that pushed the boundaries of what was architecturally acceptable when they were built. 100 striking international examples of modern architecture are categorized into thematic chapters that reflect form as well as society. Zukowsky explores the history of these buildings and their makers, presenting relevant biographical factors and socio-cultural influences that impacted on the distinctive designs. The book includes the works of heroic early modernist architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright, alongside long-established architectural firms such as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. It also features mavericks of the past and present – Bruce Goff, Shin Takamatsu and Shigeru Ban – and singular architectural wonders that reflect their own times. Readers will find out why all the featured buildings look the way they do, and why they were created when and where they were. Zukowsky’s original text unravels the rich and complex stories that exist behind the design of some of the world’s more unconventional monuments, revealing exactly why each building is one of a kind.

What is the reasoning behind some of the most controversial buildings in the world?In this original and engaging study of iconic and iconoclastic modern architecture from the unusual to the truly avant-garde, John Zukowsky examines the design and purpose of 100 modern buildings and the reaction they provoked when they were built.From the work of such world-renowned architects as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid to the maverick creations of Bruce Goff, Shin Takamatsu and Shigeru Ban, extraordinary buildings are part of our everyday lives - but some buildings provoke strong reactions.

It unravels the complex stories behind their construction, placing each building in its cultural context and discussing why it was created and what influence it has had on architectural design.You'll discover why some architects choose to prioritize function over aesthetic appeal - or vice-versa - and why others appear to challenge every accepted architectural value. You'll also learn how many buildings were influenced by global events such as the Space Race, and how others were made possible by timely technological innovation. Examines buildings from the past half century or so that pushed the boundaries of what was architecturally acceptable when they were built.
