Reviews
Reviews of Modern Architecture through Case Studies:
'Peter Blundell Jones has compiled a first rate selection of detailed case studies
of modern architecture which should really be required reading for every student.'
The Architectural Review
'The use of case studies
gives the subject a tangible feel providing a close link between theory and practice. The illustrations are well judged and plentiful,
the text is both scholarly, accessible and, in places, contentious.'
RIBA Bookshops review
'The idea of discussing modern architecture
through a series of specific built designs seems to me excellent and emphasises the tangible aspect of architecture. It does not prevent
making linkages between ideas about buildings but focuses on the fact that most projects are realised in a particular place for a particular
client by a particular architect. I am therefore extremely sympathetic to the assumption behind this book'
Professor Michael Brawne,
Architect, ex-Professor of Architecture at the University of Bath, UK, and author of Architectural Thought and the Design Process.
'...
what I have read is clear, direct, informative, scholarly, designerly and insightful ... I found it to be an optimistic book and therefore
one which may have a positive role to play in enhancing the statue of modern architecture'.
Dr Julienne Hanson, Reader, Bartlett School
of Architecture, University College London, UK
"Where this new volume scores is in its intelligent and collective overview which cuts
across the ubiquitous monographs and theoretical treatises, offering a bit of each while at the same time provides an architect's insight
into the built form. Like David Wild's collage on the dust jacket this book includes a little bit of everything. I look forward to the
next one in the series." - C20 Winter 2007/08
