This international architectural publication explores the HOPSCA concept—large-scale mixed-use urban developments combining hotels, offices, retail spaces, convention facilities, apartments, and parking within an integrated environment. The book presents projects from around the world through architectural visualisations, drawings, and detailed descriptions. Among the featured works is International Business Center and the Intercontinental Hotel by architect Svetoslav Stanislavov and STARH. The project is presented alongside works by some of the most influential figures in contemporary architecture, including Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Frank Gehry, and Steven Holl.
