Can architecture be a path into the clouds? Can you sunbathe underground? Is pretty a public amenity? These are just a few of the questions posed by HWKN architect and Architizerom co-founder Marc Kushner in his new book, The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings (Simon & Schuster; $17). An offshoot of Kushner’s TED talk “30 Years of Architecture History,” the volume brings together pioneering buildings that push the basic tenets of architecture into the future. From an air-purifying pavilion in Milan to an egg-shaped pod in Belgium, the collection represents a snapshot (well, 100 snapshots) of today’s architects’ forward-thinking approach to design.
