Atlas of Mid-Century Modern Masterpieces

The Atlas of Mid-Century Modern Masterpieces gathers 450 buildings of the mid-century modern period from every continent. It shows how architects of the time used the post-war boom and growing globalisation to build on a larger scale, across embassies, office blocks, places of entertainment and transport hubs.

Written by Dominic Bradbury, the 424-page hardback in a large 340 x 240 mm format includes work by Arne Jacobsen, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer, Frank Lloyd Wright and Oscar Niemeyer, each project shown in photographs. The range extends from North American skyscrapers and European landmarks to small churches in Africa and swimming pools in Australia.
