Never before in the history of architecture have events moved so fast and changes and developments been so complex and large-scale as they have in the past 100 years. Discontinuity, experimentation, eclecticism, the application of theory in planning projects from individual buildings to whole cities, the domination of the international scene by "master architects", nationalism and totalitarianism, social engineering, urbanism, and the influence of artistic movements like Art Nouveau, Cubism, De Stijl and Futurism - they are all recurring themes in this important and engrossing two-volume work, an account and analysis of modern architecture. Starting with urban planning in North America and Europe in the 19th.
"Modern Architecture/1 and 2 document the incredible diversity and change that have taken place in architectural and urban design during the past one hundred years. The informative text offers an in-depth analysis of societal forces shaping the landscape of modern architecture throughout Europe and the United States. Volume 1 covers issues ranging from urbanism and town planning at the turn of the century through the work of design groups such as the Deutsche Werkbund and individuals such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright to nationalistic and totalitarian architecture in Italy and Germany prior to and during the Second World War. Volume 2 traces concepts of urbanism and building theories after World War II through the 1970s, following the work of architects such as Mies van der Rohe and Alvar Aalto as well as the younger generation of practitioners of international reputation and influence. Also includes information on Amsterdam (Holland), Barcelona (Spain), Basel (Switzerland), Peter Behrens, Berlin (Germany), Boston (Massachusetts), Brussels (Belgium), Cambridge (Massachusetts), Celle (Germany), Chandigarh (India), Chicago (Illinois), Como (Italy), Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM), constructivism, Detroit (Michigan), Dusseldorf (Germany), Florence (Italy), Frankfurt (Germany)."
