Europe is the birthplace of Western civilisation and is famous for its great diversity in arts and architecture. It is also the motherland of many masters who play leading roles in their respective fields worldwide. Each European country incorporates the other countries' architectural elements into its own language. In this way each individual country develops its own architectural style based upon its own special political, cultural and geographical background and the borrowed architectural elements. European architects have long been both cosmopolitan and inward looking; such quality allows them to introduce the essence of other cultures while maintaining their own traditions as well as cultural identity. This book collects the design works of a galaxy of elites who are active on the European architectural design stage at this present time. BFLS, Hawkins/Brown, Hamonic + Masson Architects, Manuelle Gautrand Architects, N+B Architects, Magen Arquietectos and many more. ILLUSTRATIONS: Colour photographs
