Cars, motorcycles and - to a lesser extent - big lorries and bulldozers have long been favorites of designers. The likes of the E-Type Jaguar, the Routemaster and the Vincent Black Lightning have become design classics, familiar to and coveted by the multitude as much as the cognoscenti. In contrast, the structures that house these objects of desire have generally been under-regarded, shy and hidden sheds illuminated only by their illustrious occupants. However, in recent years parking structures have been coming out of the shadows and acquiring the confidence that comes with having millions spent on you and starring in action films. This fine publication introduces over 30 international parking structures, all convincing in their design and showing new trends and innovations in the increasingly hothoused world of parking structure design. The book is thoroughly illustrated with images and plans.
