Summary:

Foster (art and archaeology, Princeton U.) examines modern day convergences between art (painting, sculpture, and film) and architecture. He begins by discussing the role of image and surface in architecture from the pop art era to present, and considers the "global" styles of Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, and Renzo Piano. He then examines architects for whom art is a key point of departure, including Zaha Hadid, Diller Scofidio + Renfrom, Jacques Herzog, and Pierre de Meuron. Finally, he surveys the sculptures of Richard Serra, the films of Anthony McCall, and the installations of Dan Flavin and others. The text is interspersed with many images, some in color.
