Yearbook 09|10
The New European Architecture 2009/2010 yearbook presents an overview of the latest European architecture, with a selection of twenty projects previously featured in the magazine, plus essays on the conversion of existing buildings, on conventions in contemporary architecture and on the effects of the economic crisis. Moreover, it contains reviews of four much publicized projects (such as Calatrava's Guillemins railway station in Liège, the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart and the Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art), plus interviews with Didier Rebois, on ten rounds of Europan, and Matija Bevk, on Slovenian architecture today.
