Description
This book is now well established as the standard work on 20th century architecture. Worldwide in scope, it combines a general outline of the growth of a modern tradition with a masterly analysis and interpretation of individual buildings. The author adopts an integrated approach blending practical, aesthetic and social dimensions, yet the stress is on the format and symbolic aspects of the art.
