News: Eames House in Deyan Sudjic's "Fifty Modern Buildings That Changed the World"
For the newest installment in its colorful “Fifty” book series, the London Design Museum takes on the world of contemporary architecture. In "Fifty Modern Buildings That Changed the World" (Conran, $20), museum director Deyan Sudjic offers a lushly illustrated cross section of design from 1851 to the present. The chronology starts with Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace and ends with David Adjaye’s yet-to-be-completed National Museum of African American History and Culture, stopping at greats such as Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye and Eames House in Venice, along the way.
