Description
Peter Blundell Jones details the inadequacy of the first histories of the Modern Movement by revealing the existence of suppressed alternative
traditions within the movement and shows their great diversity through the use of case studies. Each case is analysed in detail then
used as a springboard to explore different theoretical approaches.
Case studies are shown to be the most effective way to explore this
diversity and to get closer to the buildings discussed. Blundell Jones uses the Weissenhof as a general comparative study that is followed
by single examples by chosen architects, each taking a particular set of themes.
Audience
Student and practising architects and designers; art historians.
