States of Architecture in the Twenty-First Century

For six months in 2010 Shanghai was host to the biggest and most ambitious World Expo in history. Central to the event were the truly remarkable pavilions and halls that housed exhibitions of the 189 countries and 57 international organisations taking part. The first book to include photographs and architectural drawings of the completed buildings, this important new survey showcases the Expo's most ambitious buildings and reflects a dynamism and spirit of creativity that will surely influence architects and designers for years to come.
