It turns out that architecture is a major source of inspiration for music, from classical and modern composers and jazz and blues musicians to new wave bands and rappers who become the storytellers of their cities. Album cover designers have often made use of architectural imagery, from the New York skyline to Centre Pompidou in Paris. This anthology brings together the finest, strangest, and most remarkable architecture-inspired covers, which serve to visualise the music on the recording. From Antonín Dvořák to Pink Floyd and The White Stripes, and from Gaudí to Niemeyer, the book presents a remarkable combination of highly diverse musical and architectural genres.
