The Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century Architecture is out for Christmas (isn’t it about 92years early?). The Times does a nice little review of this coffee table bound volume. I particularly like the bit about the Nordics, although Sweden is conspicuously absent.

Norway, Finland and Denmark: for consistent quality, these three are always in the top ten: wealthy, design-literate nations, with quality buildings, though their architecture, heavy on sublime engagement with nature, can lack passion.
