Architecture of the century

It might be a little early, but Phaidon have released an atlas of 21st Century architecture. Japan impressed the editors the most, with 65 pages dedicated to the country. Switzerland and The Netherlands are deemed next sexiest. South East Asia and Australasia apparently don’t get a showing, the only south hemisphere contenders being from South America.

This Times review then looks at architects per 100,000 people in each country. Japan scores 240.4, Germany 144.7, Greece 143.5, Britain 56, France 47.7, Russia 8.3, Bangladesh 0.8. Australia, by my own calculation, has 52.5 (registered architects).
