Summary:
"At once a reference work and a personal exploration of modernist
architecture
, this collection of Nicolas Grospierre's photography covers structures built between 1920 and 1989 in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. These images range from iconic buildings, such as the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis and the Ukrainian Institute of Scientific Research and Development in Kiev, to little-known structures such as the Balneological Hospital in Druskininkai, Lithuania or Oscar Niemeyer's unfinished International Fair Grounds in Tripoli. Derived from his popular blog, A
Subjective
Atlas
of
Modern
Architecture
(website: archivemodernarchitecture.tumblr.com), and organized by architectural form, this book reveals how modernist
architecture
is the embodiment of political and social ideologies, especially in public institutions such as banks, churches, libraries, and government buildings. Following the series of full-page images, an index details the location, date, architect and purpose of each building"--Provided by publisher.
