Now established as the standard work on 20th-century architecture, this text combines a general outline of the growth of a modern tradition with analysis and interpretation of individual buildings. The author blends practical, aesthetic, and social dimensions while emphasizing the formal and symbolic aspects of the art. Three of seven new chapters are included at the end of a section on recent world developments, placing contemporary architecture in a historical and cultural perspective.
