Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a critical survey of modern architecture from the 1960s when a new wind started to blow from within Modernism, through to the present day. Starting with a review of the transitional period of the 1960s, it explores the different paradigms, reactions and counter-reactions that have affected architectural developments and the effects of which are still felt today. Global in scope, with buildings discussed from every continent, each chapter begins with a theoretical overview of the ' paradigm' in question, leading to an examination of its main actors and projects. It concludes with a section which looks to future trends including environmental sustainability, a new aesthetic architecture which blurs into fine art, and architecture which focuses on technological innovation to develop ever more complex forms.
