'One of the most important architectural landmarks of the new millennium: the publication of 10 x 10 .' ( Architectural and Interior Specifier) 'Where is architecture about to take the world? Quite a long way if a landmark Phaidon Press publication is any guide, and it should be. There's never been anything like it.' (The Australian) 'The 'floor plan' layout presents stunning visual references which inspire the reader to take the visual journey through to the practice descriptions, essays and cultural references... 10 x 10 truly delivers the promised global overview of contemporary architecture.' (baseline) 'Both contemporary and historical...what stands out is the vivid photography of the buildings in question. You're instantly transported into the architect's world with a sense of wonderment and escapism...an exceptional modern design statement.' (T3) 'An essential overview of the contemporary scene.' (Wallpaper*) ' 10 x 10 proves that the world's architects are in rude health...an awesome global guide.' (The Times) 'Want to know where architecture's at right now? It's here.' (Guardian) 'Gorgeous, desirable, massive.' (Building Design) 'The essential book...for every architect, interior designer, student and teacher in the field. It will appeal to stylists, graphic designers, artists, web designers and cultural commentators.' (Building Engineer), 'A 468-page head expander...A super-informative exhibition in a book.' (i-D) 'If you can stand the weight, lie back and enjoy it.' ( Hugh Pearman, World of Interiors), 'Extraordinary...Intended as an ideas resource for those directly involved in architecture, it is also a joy to the eye for anyone - a perfect present.' (The Good Book Guide), 'The more you look, the more you find: 10 x 10 showcases the sly wit, depth and thought in the people behind today's best buildings.' (HQ, Australia)

Synopsis
10 x 10 is a kaleidoscopic view of new architecture in the world today. 100 emerging architects have been selected by 10 leading international architecture curators and critics. Each critic has also selected and listed 10 cultural references - including designed objects, books, films, themes, and movements - to reveal a dynamic range of influences in today's design environment. The book is unique in architectural publishing and provides a truly global view of the most imaginative and important architects not only of today but also of the future. This monumental book is itself architecturally designed, with a plastic lenticular three-dimensional cover and an innovative shifting grid page design, which packs in over 1,500 striking images in 468 pages. The absorbing tome is presented alphabetically by architect in a dynamically direct A-Z format that results in arresting sequences with the turn of each page, making 10 x 10 an invigorating examination of contemporary architecture and culture. The book features over 250 buildings and projects dating from 1990 to the present. These consist of recently-built works, as well as projects currently under construction. 10 x 10 journeys around the globe from multi-million dollar schemes such as the Yokohama International Port Terminal in Japan by Foreign Office Architects; through projects such as the tiny timber summer house in Risør, Norway designed by Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk; to the digital world of the Guggenheim Virtual Museum by Asymptote Architecture. From traditional to conceptual, this book mirrors the immensely diverse factors that form and fuel architectural practice and experimentation, to illustrate the most innovative responses to changing technologies and social conditions. Encompassing environmental, industrial, urban, technological, and virtual dimensions, 10 x 10 showcases an abundance of homes, workplaces, religious centres, and places of entertainment. This is a vigorous battlefield of architectural ideas: each critic has been specially commissioned to write an essay supporting their selection of architects, in some cases challenging the selections of other critics, and also giving their own view on contemporary trends in architecture. 10 x 10 is not only an essential source book, but the ultimate design object celebrating the architectural future., This is a comprehensive view of new architecture today. 10 of the world's most best informed critics each selected 10 of the world's most exceptional emerging architects.
