Description
Once again, new interpretations are presented of some of the most famous architecture of the period. Work by lesser-known architects,
whose influence and role have been overlooked by conventional histories of the subject, is discussed. The case study structure allows
each example to be discussed and used as a springboard to explore different theoretical approaches. Filled with beautiful photographs,
plans and architect's drawings, this is a clear and accessible discussion on a period of architecture that engages many questions still
under debate in architecture today.
Audience
Readership (primary): Students and academics of architecture.
Readership (secondary): Professional architects, students and professionals in related design disciplines.
