Architectures

Modernism and After (New Interventions in Art History)

Architectures: Modernism and After surveys the history of the building from the advent of industrialization to the cultural imperatives of the present moment. Brings together international art and architectural historians to consider a range of topics that have influenced the shape, profile, and aesthetics of the built environment. Presents crucial "moments" in the history of the field when the architecture of the past is made to respond to new and changing cultural circumstances. Provides a view of architectural history as a part of a continuing dialogue between aesthetic criteria and social and cultural imperatives. Part of the New Interventions in Art History Series, which is published in conjunction with the Association of Art Historians.

Book Details


First Sentence

"Modernism is a contradictory idea because the word "modern" implies something that is bang up to date and still in formation, but the suffix "ism" implies the opposite, a doctrine, a method that is now comfortably codified."
