- How the world's great artists envisioned the future. A panoramic exploration of works of the creative imagination throughout history, introduces you to a wide range of far-reaching, original designs that, unbuilt, survived purely as artistic vision. The significant international content, from Prehistory through Medieval, Renaissance,and Modern periods: includes full-page illustrations of baroque stage sets, designs for the film Metropolis and urban cityscapes by M.C.Escher, Frank Lloyd Wright, Hugh Ferriss, and much more.
