Summary:

"Architects began modeling their buildings according to sculptural principles in the 1920s (Goetheanum). In view of recent developments in architecture, especially the digital, biomorphic projects of such blobmeisters as Greg Lynn and NOX, one is even prompted to ask whether the history of contemporary sculpture is not actually being written by the architecture of our time. This richly illustrated publication featuring some 370 images explores this largely overlooked phenomenon in a very unusual approach. The dialogue between these two fields of aesthetics is traced from the eighteenth century to the present in ten chapters, each presenting juxtapositions of sculptures and architectural models by outstanding sculptors and architects."--Jacket
