The Museum of Modern Art in Gunma, surrounded by parkland, is the most complete realization by Isozaki of a conceptual approach to museum design. The Clore Gallery, London, was built to house the Tate Gallery’s superb collection of paintings by J M W Turner, while the Tate in Liverpool was created out of a magnificent 1845 dockside warehouse; both are examined here within the context of Stirling & Wilford’s ?uvre at the time of construction.

Fallingwater, the Villa Mairea and the Eames House – by Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames respectively – represent pinnacles of modern residential design. Fallingwater is one of Wright’s most inventive houses, showing him to be an architect of immense creativity and daring.
