Island buildings -- Cultural islands -- Villas, houses, and apartments -- Island resorts and hotels -- Artificial islands -- Urban islands -- Floating future.


Buildings near, or even in water transcend boundaries and merge concrete, familiar structures with flowing visions to create symphonies of water, light, and stone. This illustrated work is a fascinating journey through the island worlds of today, tomorrow, and the day after.
