Description
The two decades after World War Two are usually depicted as an intermediate period between a fading modernism and an incipient postmodernism. These 12 essays argue that the period also witnessed a concurrent trend of insurgent modernist design in architecture.
The essays reveal that a wide range of postwar architects and theorists -- including Saarinen and Rudofsky in the United States; ATBAT-Afrique in Morocco; Price and the Smithsons in England; Bakema in Holland; and the Metabolists in Japan -- were determined to renew rather than abandon the legacy of modernism.
This book discusses the emerging field of postwar architectural studies, refocusing attention on modernist ideas and work that have had a critical, ongoing impact on architectural culture.
