Average Customer Ratings:
Inspired by fresh agendas, such as simplicity and re-thinking congregational spaces, the designs in this book dazzle with a bold new perspective. The 400 color photographs in this book put you in beachfront scenes where the waves crash only inches from your feet; you laze dreamily, poolside, in glamorous luxury hotels; and finally, you come face to face with the most innovative concepts in all of Asia.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Tropical Inspiration -
I'm an Architectural Designer that lives/works in Jamaica and Bermuda and I'm also a fan of modern/contemporary architecture. I own a number of books on the subject, but few tend to address basic climatic issues that we in the Tropics face (and rightly so, since they are about projects north of the tropics). I've just received the book from my freight forwarder and had a chance to browse thru it. It really looks interesting and certainly provides inspiration for projects that can be successfully executed in our hot, humid climate.
The inclusion of architectural drawings (Plans, Sections, Elevations) is also welcome - too many books on Architecture neglect this very important point. I think this may be the telling factor for deciding whether this is to be another one of my coffee-table books, or a serious informative reference for ideas and inspiration. For now, I'm leaning to the latter.
