The cellular BC25 Capsule Building in Tokyo and the brutalist Barbican Complex in London were just two of a host of revolutionary architectural projects to erupt onto the world`s skyline in the 1970s. The Decorative Art yearbooks of this decade concentrated more and more on architecture and interior design, while continuing to illustrate the latest designs for furniture, textiles, glassware and ceramics. Taschen`s reprint of highlights from Decorative Art validates the recent revival of interest in the 1970s and offers further insight into this largely overlooked decade.
