Christ & Gantenbein Review: Typology 2 : Delhi, Paris, São Paulo, Athens. Review No. III (Hardcover)

In the third volume of the new series exploring the foundational theories and works of architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, more than 150 buildings are documented through floor plans, axonometric projections, recent color photographs, and halftones.

The buildings, many of them relatively unknown, were chosen in order to provide a basis for looking at metropolitan design in the twentieth century, and they show the patterns and differences found in architecture from around the world. Included is an essay that provides meaningful context for the buildings and examines how local government and zoning practices guide architecture.

A powerful example of the unlimited potential for urban design, Typology offers a new point of view in municipal planning and architecture.
