| Summary: | The first book to explore the world's most significant architectural exhibitions of the twentiethth century. How do you exhibit a building, a locality, a city? 'Exhibit A' reveals how architecture has pushed the boundaries of exhibition as a medium and how, in turn, exhibitions have shaped the discipline of architecture. Focusing on eighty landmark architecture exhibitions mounted in countries around the world between 1948 and 2000, and featuring 300 images, this groundbreaking overview is both a vital reference and a visually compelling study of the way we look at built work. |
