Product Description
From Kenneth Frampton, the doyen of architectural history, comes The Evolution of 20th-Century Architecture: A Synoptic Account. In this radical new approach to the history of architecture, Frampton traces what he considers to be the most powerful four lines of architecture: the avant-garde (1887–1986), organic architecture (1910–1998), modern and national styles (1935–1998), and industrialization and prefabrication (1927–1990). Born from his confident eye for the history, theory, and motives behind architecture, this richly illustrated overview will certainly become an instant classic and required reading for a new generation of students and historians.
