A great gift for Photography and Architect Lovers

I gave this book as a gift to an friend with a professional architectural background. He loved it, and the book makes a wonderful coffee table book.

Excellent view of the Milwaukee Art Museum

I was struck in awe by the Milwaukee Art Museum as I was wallking towards it on Wisconsin Avenue. I had never been met with such a magnificent structure before in my life. There are so many angles you can admire it from, and each angle affords you a totally different perspective. The first time I saw it, it reminded me of a whale's tail as it is diving into the ocean. From another angle, it's a majestic ship sailing in Lake Michigan. This book is a great collection of pictures of the museum structure. I bought it as a souvenir of my visit there. The photographs don't do it justice 100%, but it's a wonderful reminder of the infinite possibilities of engineering and art. It's a perfect coffee table book gift for artists and non-artists alike.

A complete documentation

First off this book is an absolutely great documentation of this buildings, it has over 100 full color prints that fill entire pages. Every detail, plan, and section is also included. I bought this book for a project that I am doing for this semester and wow am I glad I did. So if you are a student that needs plans/sections/elevations/details this is the only book that I have found that has good solid representations of each. Otherwise if you are a fan of the buildings or love the work of Calatrava this would be an excellent addition to a collection. Absolutely beautiful book.
