¡¡CA1 continues The Images Publishing Group's commitment to
an annual showcase of contemporary architecture. Previously
published as the International Architecture Yearbook, this
annual series presents a snapshot of current architectural
trends. The new title better reflects the spirit and
content of the series, which will continue to entertain and
inspire with its eclectic mix of international projects. The projects collected in this book are outstanding examples of ingenuity, innovation, cultural sensitivity and ecological preservation. Ranging from the playful to the sombre, from high-tech to historic, from cultural to commercial and all in between, they are among the finest contemporary examples of architecture's unfailing ability to improvise, surprise and delight. More than 50 architectural practices are featured. Many are multi-award-winning household names and some are rising stars in world architecture. Together they present a fascinating view of contemporary architecture.
