I asked architects to send me important images that show the basis of their work. Images that are in their head when they think. Images that show the origin of their architecture. In this book we find forty-four individual „musées imaginaires“. The most unique architects living today each present up to ten images to explain the autobiographical roots of their oeuvre. The images are explanations, metaphors, foundations, memories and intentions. They are poetic and philosophical avowals. They reveal a personal perspective on thoughts. They show the roots of architecture and expectations concerning projects. Conscious and unconscious. This book has the format of a reader. As little as possible is said. The images are small, legible and interpretable as icons. As individual collections, they present a personal view of an individual world, while as a whole they provide a universal view of the perceptible origin of contemporary architecture. — Valerio Olgiati List of Architects: David Adjaye; Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus; Alejandro Aravena; Ben van Berkel; Mario Botta; Alberto Campo Baeza; Adam Caruso and Peter St John; David Chipperfield; Preston Scott Cohen; Hermann Czech; Roger Diener; Peter Eisenman; Sou Fujimoto; Antòn Garcìa-Abril; Go Hasegawa; Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron; Steven Holl; Anne Holtrop; Junya Ishigami; Arata Isozaki; Toyo Ito; Bijoy Jain, Studio Mumbai; Momoyo Kaijima and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Atelier Bow-Wow; Christian Kerez; Hans Kollhoff; Winy Maas, MVRDV; Peter Märkli; Jürgen Mayer H.; Richard Meier; Glenn Murcutt; Ryue Nishizawa; Valerio Olgiati; John Pawson; Cecilia Puga; Smiljan Radic; Richard Rogers; Kazuyo Sejima; Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates; Miroslav Šik; Àlvaro Siza Vieira; Eduardo Souto de Moura; Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown; Peter Wilson, Bolles + Wilson; Peter Zumthor.
