"Architecture Today" provides a clear, comprehensive guide to these pluralistic styles and movements, offering incisive critiques of the world's most prominent architectural trends of the last 25 years. 500 photos, 350 in color.

Taking the title and large size from a 1982 Charles Jencks book, this one is just as chock-filled with recent (a few years back) stuff organized in a similar fashion to a standard Jencks production.
