Summary

"Celebrating the elaborate fabric of the world we have built for ourselves in concrete, steel, brick and glass, Modern Architecture is an indispensable, comprehensive and generously illustrated guide to inspiring and innovative buildings and structures across the globe from 1900 to the present day." "Jonathan Glancey explores the roots of contemporary architecture and reveals how rapidly changing social and political conditions have affected the built environment. The book also investigates the innovations and inventions that influence the modern craft of architecture and the way that traditions of the past continue to inform the role of the architect."--BOOK JACKET.
