Includes a foreword by Jaques Herzog. Essays by Aaron Betsky, Paul Davies, Brian Hatton, Martin Pawley, Irenee Scalbert and others. This book "is an enquiry into the state of the millennial city, this 'new world' loosely composed around consumerism, finance, culture, politics and entertainment. Comprising ten highly individual statements from some of the world's most erudite - and often controversial - architecture writers, Vertigo critiques a disparate selection of buildings currently in the public eye and in various stages of completion, ranging from the reconstruction of Berlin to Yokohama International Port Terminal. Fully illustrated with 233 illustrations, 200 in color, these include photographs, plans and tour de force computer renderings. Vertigo is compelling reading for architecture students, practitioners, critics and anyone at all interested in the urban environment." 207 pages including an index. The jacket has very light edgewear. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
