Description

Hardcover: 288 pages Elie Haddad explores the evolution of modern architecture over the past six decades, from its peak in the mid-20th century to the present day. This survey charts the development of various movements, including their key figures and projects, while avoiding simplistic or ideological approaches. The book begins with an examination of the transitional period of the 1960s, before delving into the different movements that followed, including those influenced by environmental concerns and technological innovations. A global perspective is maintained throughout, highlighting the complex interplay between aesthetics and ideology in contemporary architecture. This comprehensive survey provides a nuanced understanding of modern architecture in the post-modern era, shedding light on its ongoing impact and relevance today.
