Summary:
Truly far-ranging - both conceptually and geographically - a history that will shape future thinking about this period for years to come. An authoritative and compelling account of the twentieth century, tracing an arc from industrialization through computerization, and linking
architecture
to developments in art, technology, urbanism and critical theory. Encompassing both well-known masters and previously neglected but significant architects, this book also reflects Cohen's knowledge of
architecture
across the globe, and in places such Eastern Europe and colonial Africa and South America that have rarely been included in histories of this period. Illustrated not only with buildings, projects and plans, but also with publications, portraits, paintings, diagrams, film stills, and exhibitions, showing the immense diversity of architectural thought and production throughout the twentieth century.
