A selection of sketches, drawings and models rounds off the examination of their artistic ideas and their thinking. Within the context of this broad, composite view, the architects as they see themselves and the ideals that lie behind their ideas attain clear contours.The architects covered in this book includes: Oscar Niemeyer, Gottfried Böhm, Peter Eisenman, Phyllis Lambert, Richard Meier, SANAA, Mario Botta, Peter Zumthor, David Chipperfield, Ieoh Ming Pei, Daniel Libeskind, Albert Speer, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas, Rafael Moneo, Robert Venturi/Denise Scott Brown, Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Oswald Mathias Ungers, Helmut Jahn, Richard Rogers, Renzo Piano, Alvaro Siza, Meinhard von Gerkan, Volkwin Marg, Hans Hollein, Frank O.
