United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Engelska 2002

This building is one of the late twentieth century's most profound architectural statements. It is a living institution dedicated to research and teaching as well as to contemplation and commemoration. One of the most visited museums in the United States, this work by James Ingo Freed is characterized by the unique intellectual and aesthetic energy that drives both its form and its function.

Launched in 1991, the Architecture in Detail series attracted immediate acclaim and now comprises more than 60 titles. These books are highly collectable documents, each focusing in depth on a celebrated building.

The series covers all sides of the vast spectrum of architecture from the past, present and future; the individual buildings are selected for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity.

Each volume contains a definitive text by a respected author; a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs; a series of technical drawings; and a set of essential working details. These titles are vital to every architectural library, appealing to the professional and student alike, or indeed anyone with an appreciation of buildings.
