Summary:
This work intends to be a critical assessment of world architecture in our global times: both a 'state of the art' and a 'state of the planet', centered on the period opened by the Fall of the Berlin Wall. After an introduction on Spain as a laboratory of global architecture, ten long chapters written by prominent experts explore the different regions of the world. Each section is rounded off with sentative works of the area in question, completed between 1990 and 2007, that is, circa 2000. The regions mapped follow the civilizations identified by Huntington. However, this distribution does not demand acknowledging that religious and cultural fault lines are more important that the homogeneity brought about by globalization, with the spread of sprawl and spectacle as the two main traits of the contemporary architectural and urban landscape.
