520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. These buildings are as radically different from each other as they are from accepted norms. Some make inspired use of natural forms or traditional methods and materials to create bio-morphic compositions that can seem ancient, unworldly or even alien. Bart Prince's organic wooden houses rub shoulders with Frank Gehry's billowing titanium gallery, and Santiago Calatrava's concrete beetle-cum-planetarium faces Eugene Tsui's latter-day Dimetradon. Others favour the sleek futuristic design vision of the 1950s and 1960s: here we find Oscar Niemeyer's art gallery, floating like a polished flying saucer near Rio de Janeiro, and Spacelab's Kunsthaus, Graz, a mass of light and shadow. But here too are buildings that offer expressions of a future dominated by technology, where the nuts and bolts of architecture are on display for all to see. The external steel workings of Richard Rogers' instantly recognizable Lloyds Building are joined by the tectonic plates of Terry Farrell's The Deep and the dramatic spurred arms of the Falkirk Wheel. Though diverse in form and function, all these structures are united in their quest to challenge convention and break the mould. -- Dust Jacket.
