100 Buildings EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW 1900โ2000 EDITED AND PRODUCED BY THE NOW INSTITUTE THOM MAYNE, FOUNDER EUI-SUNG YI, DIRECTOR
An accessible primer to the most important architectural touchstones of our time by todayโs leading architects and teachers of architecture. For this volume, over forty internationally renowned architects and educatorsโfrom Peter Eisenman and the late Zaha Hadid to Rafael Moneo and Cesar Pelliโwere asked to list the top 100 twentieth-century architectural projects they would teach to students. The contributors were encouraged to select built projects where formal, spatial, technological, and organizational concepts responded to dynamic historical, cultural, social, and political circumstances. The capacity of these buildings to resist, adapt, and invent new typologies solidifies their timeless relevance to future challenges. The result is presented here in this unique volume: a master list of the top 100 โmust-knowโ built works of architecture designed and completed between 1900 and 2000. Ranging from houses and apartment buildings to museums and buildings for education and government, the book offers a wealth of extraordinary works of design and construction and is an essential edition for anyone with an interest in architecture and design. Thom Mayne is a Pritzker Prizeโwinning American architect and educator, who founded the interdisciplinary architecture and urban design firm mOrphosis in 1972. He is the cofounder and executive director of the Now Institute and currently distinguished professor at UCLAโs Architecture and Urban Design. Eui-Sung Yi is design principal at mOrphosis and director of the Now Institute at UCLA. The Now Institute is an urban research center at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design that applies strategic interdisciplinary thinking to real-world issues.
