Inhaltsangabe

After several pages of prologue summing up 18th century highlights especially the rise in importance of geometry some forty pages cover 1784-1916, focusing on the heavily fenestrated high-rises of the Chicago School and the iron and glass pavilions of Europe. The chapter spanning 1892-1925 concentrates on the many disputes over the trajectory of modernism: Nieuwe Kunst, Stile Liberty, Jugendstil, and Art Nouveau, all arguing the direction that the boom of prisons, hospitals, schools, town halls, and other institutional buildings would take. Three more time divisions follow and a concise compendium of architect biographies ends the volume. Along with an array of great pictures (par for Taschen), G÷ssel and LeuthSuser both active in the private sector add a strong prose style attentive to debates among architects and the socioeconomic stage on which architects act.

Reseña del editor

This revised edition of "20th Century Architecture" extends its coverage up until 2000, and includes more colour photographs, more architect biographies, and new chapters on deconstructivism and the new living architecture. From Frank Lloyd Wright to Gaudi to Frank O. Gehry to Shigeru Ban and everything in between, the book attempts to cover it all. The chronologically organized chapters put it all into perspective, illustrated by hundreds of large format photographs as well as drawings and floor plans. The biographical appendix covers all of the century's greatest architects, including the newest talents.
