Modern Architecture: A Critical History

by Kenneth Frampton

ISBN 9780500202579

About This Book

This acclaimed survey of 20th-century architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980. Now revised, enlarged and expanded, Kenneth Frampton brings the story up to date and adds an entirely new concluding chapter that focuses on four countries where individual talent and enlightened patronage have combined to produce a comprehensive and convincing architectural culture: Finland, France, Spain and Japan.

Editorial Note

The survey every architecture student reads. Teaches you to see modernism as a contested moral project, not a style.
