Big ideas for small buildings Over the years, talented architects have occasionally indulged themselves with the challenge of designing small but perfectly formed buildings. Today, with reduced budgets, many architects have turned in a more focused way to creating works that may be diminutive in their dimensions, but are definitely big when it comes to trendsetting ideas.
Taschen's new architecture series brings a unique perspective to world architecture, highlighting architectural trends by country. Each book features 15 to 20 architects - from the firmly established to the up-and-coming - with the focus on how they have contributed to very recent architecture in the chosen nation.
As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways. Such innovative contributors to the work published in this volume as the German professor Achim Menges are showing the way to the creation of complex, almost living wood structures.

Showing off 54 projects by Danish architects, everything in here is brand new, often so new that they are under construction or at the planning stage. The book breaks down into themed chapters, ranging the gamut from housing to museums to offices.

But in the Danish compilations 2 and 3, thereis a greater effort by many of the firms to use advanced rendering technologies to focus on people and their relationships to buildings, rather than on the buildings as art objects in space. The result is to render a fuller Scandinavian regional identity to the work.
