Comprehensively detailing exciting complete and under-construction projects around the world, Architecture Now! 8 is an amazing resource for contemporary architecture. The hardcover book covers a wide array of geographic locations including the jungle, the modern city and the desert. These interesting building projects are discussed thoroughly, and celebrate the architects whose ingenuity created the unique structures — from superstars like Zaha Hadid, Ryue Nishizawa and Thom Mayne to rising stars like Joshua Prince-Ramus and Sou Fujimoto. Favorites include the building in the shape of a square robot, and the astoundingly complex clean white geometrics of the Guangzhou Opera House. Pre-order now at Taschen for $40.
