What’s best in architecture today and what’s most relevant for tomorrow come together in the first book by the world’s most visited architecture website, ArchDaily. 

“Architecture is about giving form to the places where people live. It is no easier, and no more complicated, than that. There are three key words here: “form,” “place,” and “life.” As soon as one reflects on these terms, one immediately comprehends that these things are not all that easy.” explains leading Chilean architect, Alejandro Aravena in a foreword written specifically for the book. 

The ArchDaily Guide to Good Architecture draws on ArchDaily’s curation of more than 40,000 projects over the past 15 years, the book spotlights the most innovative built environments of our age—those paving the way for a better, more sustainable future. Centered around ArchDaily’s 10 principles of good architecture, the book showcases a rich variety of projects—both built and planned—from a sunken restaurant with subterranean views to a Mediterranean cave transformed into a remarkable residence. Reflecting a global community of world-shapers, it celebrates the most visionary architects, and introduces bold new talent. It explores the key topics and trends redefining the built environment, marking the forefront of architectural thought and practice today, with an eye on tomorrow. 

The ArchDaily Guide to Good Architecture will also come in a special edition version, which includes a linen cover and a print from Burkinabé architect and Pritzker Prize winner, Diébédo Francis Kéré. Available exclusively on the  gestalten and ArchDaily‘s websites from 06 September 2022.
