The Modern Architecture Pop-Up Book
"The Modern Architecture Pop-Up Book" is an overview of some of the most significant buildings of the last century with 100 color illustrations, commentary from architectural writer David Sokol and contributions by notable architects I. M. Pei, Santiago Calatrava, Richard Meier, Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid. And of course, there's also pop-up recreations of famous buildings.
It features 20 meticulously-designed pop-up models, each the work of Anton Radevsky, who also engineered the now out-of-print "History of Architecture Pop-Up." The book includes legendary buildings, like the Eiffel Tower and Brooklyn Bridge, as well as more recent classics, like the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Milwaukee Art Museum. Part history lesson, part novelty, the "Modern Architecture Pop-Up Book" can serve as a passable simulacrum for people who might visit the genuine article.
