This internationally renowned survey, source book and critical history is an treasure trove of visual and documentary material. All the major collective experiments, from constructivism and expressionism to functionalism and International Style, with key figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, are passed in review. Lesser known movements, such as the New Tradition and the New Monumentality, are also covered in this ‘history of ideas’. The book concludes with a critical discussion of the most important contemporary movements, including post-modern architecture.

‘Reference works that offer a fascinating narrative that can be read cover to cover are rare. Modern Architecture is just such a book. A critical history by Kenneth Frampton, which is now available in Dutch.’ W.M. Lookman in Het Financiële Dagblad
