Sinopsis, this book includes a fascinating selection of roofs, from the most classical to
the most avant- garde, all of which lend style as well as functionality to the
buildings they crown. The featured projects provide a thorough, up-to-date
study of trends in roof design, according to their type, materials used and
the respective characteristics they provide. Works by leading architects are
included, as well as some by up-and-coming new talent, all of them fully
illustrated with plans and building details which help to give a better understanding
of the enormous range of possibilities that exist in roof design
in contemporary architecture.
