Synopsis
As ever, the development of the city's economic, political and cultural life can be read in the new buildings going up all over the capital. After the excitement and farce of London's millennium buildings (The London Eye, Peckham Library and the Tate Modern on the one hand; the Dome and the infamous swaying Thames footbridge on the other), our rulers have built themselves one of the world's most lavish office blocks; two new skyscrapers are nearing completion at Canary Wharfonce among the capital's most derided properties, now an astonishingly desirable address; industrial buildings are renovated to house new-media firms and the people who own or work in them; and occasionally funding is found for a school or public leisure facility. This fifth edition of London: A Guide to Recent Architecture brings the picture up to date. 150 b/w photographs.

Review
London: A Guide to Recent Architecture is one in a series of lovely little guides to many of the world's major cities created by British publisher Ellipsis. The information contained here ranges from brief perspectives on the city's architectural history to tips on which maps are best for visitors and how to navigate the local public transit system. The book considers architecture not as something that happens on isolated building sites, but rather as social, cultural, and political phenomena. At four inches square, this highly portable book is an ideal travel companion.
Some of the other books in the series cover Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City, and Tokyo. Each guidebook has its own flavor, as different writers--usually architects--cover each city. --Loren E. Baldwin
