An international survey of current architectural projects provides an opportunity to scrutinise a body of work and detect a range of concerns. If it is built work, then it also presents a way of tracing the development of ideas through construction and considering their relevance and appropriateness once complete. This particular survey extends across a broad and extremely varied territory. It is a territory which takes in several countries in the European Community and also includes North America, the Far East and Australasia. However, although the territory is broad, this view is one of an architecture devised for and by an affluent, cosmopolitan consumer society working within capitalist economies.
