Kaum jemand weiß, dass sie ihren letzten Einsatz überlebt hat. Doch dann erhält sie einen Blumengruß, der sie zu einem neuen Fall nach München ruft - und der sie fürchten lässt, dass sie ihren eigenen Tod bald ein zweites Mal erleben könnte … Ein psychologisch dichter Thriller mit ungewöhnlicher Heldin und Gänsehaut-Garantie!

We're asking more of architecture than ever before; the response will define our future. A pavilion made from paper. A building that eats smog. An inflatable concert hall. A research lab that can walk through snow. We're entering a new age in architecture -- one where we expect our buildings to deliver far more than just shelter. We want buildings that inspire us while helping the environment; buildings that delight our senses while serving the needs of a community; buildings made possible both by new technology and repurposed materials. Like an architectural cabinet of wonders, this book collects the most innovative buildings of today and tomorrow. The buildings hail from all seven continents (to say nothing of other planets), offering a truly global perspective on what lies ahead. Each page captures the soaring confidence, the thoughtful intelligence, the space-age wonder, and at times the sheer whimsy of the world's most inspired buildings -- and the questions they provoke: Can a building breathe? Can a skyscraper be built in a day? Can we 3D-print a house? Can we live on the moon?
