Thames & Hudson has just published Simon Henley’s The Architecture of Parking.

An introduction covers the history and architectural significance of these buildings and their relevance today, and is followed by chapters that define the most influential aspects of parking design.” Includes garages designed by Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas.
