In this stunning jacketed hardback, award-winning architecture writer Ike Ijeh introduces 50 of the world's most influential architects and a selection of their most celebrated buildings, showcased with full-color photography.

From familiar modern era names such as Zaha Hadid and Norman Foster to geniuses from history such as Nicholas Hawksmoor and Andrea Palladio, Ike Ijeh reveals his top 50 list of the architects deserving of the description 'greatest'.

- Concise professional biographies of the architects listed
- Plans from great architecture projects
