Architecture beyond the expected

Spanning private homes, libraries and churches, this photographic collection gathers buildings whose forms depart strikingly from familiar architectural conventions. The examples range from bubble-like residences in southern France and warped houses in Poland to structures shaped like dogs, shoes and picnic baskets, with locations extending from Bilbao to Beijing. Together, they offer a visual survey of imaginative approaches to building design and the varied ways form can reshape expectations of what a building looks like. The book’s broad selection makes architecture the subject of a visual journey across unusual structures and places.
