Here is a treasure trove of as-yet untried design ideas and the ultimate inspiration for forward-thinking professionals and anyone interested in contemporary architecture. Featuring 100 of the best projects to have been proposed since the turn of the millennium, it includes projects by such architects as UNStudio, Foreign Office Architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Zaha Hadid, J. Mayer H. Architects and Asymptote. Among the featured projects are proposed schemes for the ergonomic Cuidad del Motor race track complex by UNStudio; the National Portrait Gallery with anthropomorphic skin façade by Sean Godsell Architects; the Battersea Power Station master plan by Arup AGU; and the vertical villages of the Dubai Tower by Grimshaw.
