This issue of the A10 Yearbook presents an atypical cross-section of recent European architecture that celebrates a distinct approach in the 20 projects presented here.
The selection is intended to show the possibility of achieving exceptional results in more normal and everyday circumstances. Residential houses, public buildings, commercial office and recreational facilities have been drawn from all over Europe – each introduced with a short commentary and accompanied by photographs, plans and elevations.
