The Elements of Modern Architecture is a richly illustrated architectural reference book that examines some of the world's most significant modern buildings from 1950 onward. Rather than simply showing photographs, the authors dissect each building through detailed freehand drawings, plans and architectural analysis.

The revised and expanded 2020 edition examines 55 modern masterpieces across six continents, making it a particularly useful reference for architecture students and anyone interested in understanding how important buildings are designed.
