Comments: Taschen's new book Architecture Now! Eat Shop Drink combines the pleasure of dining out, retail therapy, and experimental cocktails. Discover a world of inspiration between the flexicover protecting 416 pages of the latest architecture and design. There are numerous names that make the crossover from furniture and decorative accessories to creating the shell for such creations and public enjoyment. Artek, Maarten Baas, Tom Dixon, and Yoshioka, among many others... All of the projects were completed or began after 2003, a majority of them after the 2008 economic downturn. A very interesting aspect of this book is how it exemplifies that the economy does not stop architecture, it transforms it. More attention is paid to material use, low energy impact and a minimal carbon footprint. From large-scale initiatives to personalized boutique style, the developments of artful interiors are perfect locations to eat, shop, and drink.
