Review
A useful and wide-ranging work of superior architectural scholarship, this ambitious publication contains many chapters that stand on their own as perceptive essays; it is marked throughout by a consistently mature critical intelligence.

This acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980. For this fourth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a major new chapter that explores the effects of globalization on architecture in recent years, the rise annd rise of the celebrity architect, and the way in which practices worldwide have addressed such issues as sustainability and habitat. The bibliography has also been updated and expanded, making this volume more complete and indispensable than ever.

Frampton - the Bible for the History of Modern Architecture,
By patrick sito "object op" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modern Architecture 4e (Paperback)
This is the Bible for the History of Modern Architecture. I lived with this book in graduate school during the '80's, and is still relevant, important and has been up-dated to address the last 30 years of Architectural ideology and design.A must have for students and any professional interested in a critical historical perspective. It is also a great read. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
