Curved: Bending Architecture

Curved: Bending Architecture, published by Lannoo, is written by art and design historian Agata Toromanoff, who delves into the engineering feats and aesthetic triumphs of designing arching and twisting buildings. Barangaroo House is featured alongside over 60 remarkable buildings that explore the boundaries of form.

The introduction to the book reads: ‘Whether expressed in objects of everyday use or buildings, rounded design seems more communicative, natural and appealing, evoking positive emotions.’

Toromanoff adds: ‘A challenge in the construction process and quite expensive to build, curving architecture has been and will always be a statement in the pursuit of testing limits and envisioning some of the most striking and original structures ever.’
