Unbuilt Masterworks of the 21st Century

Inspirational Architecture for the Digital Age

Unbuilt Masterworks of the 21st Century presents 100 of the best projects to have been proposed since the turn of the millennium by the world’s greatest architects, from UN Studio, Foreign Office Architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Zaha Hadid to such up-and-coming stars as J. Mayer H. Architects and Asymptote. The book is a treasure trove of asyet untried design ideas and the ultimate inspiration for forwardthinking professionals and anyone interested in contemporary architecture.

• A profusely illustrated survey that reveals those truly revolutionary schemes that would otherwise remain on the drawing boards of some of the most innovative visionaries in the world.
• Features rarely seen renderings and drawings, sketches and plans.
• Among the featured projects are proposed schemes for the ergonomic Cuidad del Motor race track complex by UN Studio; the National Portrait Gallery with anthropomorphic skin façade by Sean Godsell Architects; the Battersea Power Station master plan by Arup AGU; the vertical villages of the Dubai Tower by Grimshaw, and many others.
• Complemented by texts that critically assess the architects’ intentions and aims
