modern architectures in history
This international series examines the forms and consequences of modern
architecture. Modernist visions and revisions are explored in their national context
against a backdrop of aesthetic currents, economic developments, political trends
and social movements. Written by experts in the architectures of the respective
countries, the series provides a fresh, critical reassessment of Modernism’s positive
and negative effects, as well as the place of architectural design in twentieth-
century history and culture.
