This review is from: 50 Architects You Should Know (Paperback)
Reading the fine print at the beginning of the book confirms the reader's hunch that this is a translation (from German actually).This undoubtedly explains why the authors confuse the Moma and the Guggenheim as a single building! This well illustrated book is worth reading as a concise introduction leading to other, more reliable, sources of information
