Sinopsis

From Louis Sullivan's first successful attempts to give steel construction its own form and expression, to city planning, contemporary megastructures, public housing, and the Mobile Home, Vincent Scully examines the significant aspects of modern architecture. Applying his considerable talents as a passionate and engaging writer and thinker, Scully explores the most important figures and developments in architecture during this period: Art Nouveau in Europe, Gropius and the Bauhaus, and Russian Constructivism, as well as the contributions of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Louis I. Khan, and Robert Venturi. 190 b/w illustrations.

De la contraportada

This revised edition of the important work published in 1961 offers an opportunity to focus on the major new developments in architecture in the last twelve years, and in the light of those events, to revise and enlarge the view of modern architectural history as a whole which the original text presented. Unlike the earlier edition, the revision devotes considerable attention to city planning.
