Architektur Architecture EXPO 2000 Hannover

Mehr zum Buch

The visual impression made by a world exhibition is largely dependent on the quality of its architecture, and this year the Hannover EXPO 2000 is stunning visitors with an especially wide range of attractions: from futuristic bridge constructions to invitingly designed commons to modern traffic buildings. The pavilions of the individual nations will be among the fair's finest sights -- a Buddhist temple for the kingdom of Bhutan, a Japanese pavilion made entirely out of paper, a desert fort for the United Arab Emirates, stacked landscapes for the Netherlands -- never before has there been such a copious architectural feast for the eyes. The catalogue documenting this event gives a reading tour of the entire EXPO 2000 site: About 300 illustrations and concise informative texts about the individual architectural projects turn the publication into a highly up-to-date handbook for all of architecture today.
