Architectural Expressions turns on its head the notion that architecture must be deadly serious in order to be valid. It is a testament to the wit and inventiveness of a selection of architects and building designers over the last century who have injected a sense of fun into the built environment Over the last 30 years, brothers Peter and Tony Mackertich have travelled the western world seeking out buildings which are inspiring, innovative, and show a touch of humour. Their stunning colour photographs bear witness to the fact that it is possible to make legitimate architecture whilst still retaining a smile. Boldly juxtaposing 'high' architecture with less recognised structures, the book traces the development of the spirit of fun in 20th-century building design. Buildings featured include Einstein Tower, Potsdam, Germany (Erich Mendelsohn, 1919-24 Hoover Factory, London, UK (Wallis, Gilbert and Partners, 1932 Pan-Pacific Auditorium, Los Angeles, USA (William Wurdamen, 1936 AT&T Headquarters, New York, USA (Philip Johnson & John Burgee, 1982 \u003cP\u003e Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain (Frank O Gehry, 1997 Peckham Library, London, UK (Will Alsop, 2000 For too long the complex theories of architecture have tended to alienate the man in the street.

This book will delight anyone with either a personal interest or an active role in the design of the built environment - and a sense of humour
