Download or read book Visionary Architecture written by Ernest Burden. This book was released on 2000. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic exploration of works of the imagination throughout history. Its emphasis is on how each architect, renderer, artist, and culture envisioned the future, hence the preponderance of buildings and urban cityscapes depicted are unbuilt. A range of work is included, from baroque stage sets to the film Metropolis, M.C. Escher, Frank Lloyd Wright, Hugh Ferriss, virtual L.A., and more. There are sketches, paintings, models, drawings, and computer images in a range of media and stylistic techniques, and a timeline integrates architectural events alongside their historical and cultural counterparts.
