Architectural Details 2003

"For the first time, this yearbook for 2003 presents a summary of the most important articles and buildings from a whole year's publicaions in an exclusively English-language edition. The layout of the book follows that of the journal itself. The building projects contained in the 'documentation' section are flanked by specialist articles from the 'discussion' and 'technology' sections. In making our selection, we have tried to include a representative cross-section of the material covered in the course of the year, representative in terms of building types and functions, materials, forms of construction and geographical locations. As in every issue of the journal, the editorial team seeks to present a sensible and attractive mixture, especially in the choice of buildings. The book contains a stimulating juxtaposition of well-designed everyday structures, mostly by smaller, less-known offices, and more spectacular projects by internationally renowned architects"--Editorial, p.
