[Dandelion · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is like an A to Z dictionary of the most influential architects living today, providing thier pictures, pictures of some of their projects and brief information about the architects.
I would like to point out that there are some errors in the book; such as where they studied and since when.
In all, the book was quite informative, so take a look you mite find it helpful.
