Description
The Other Modern Movement Architecture, 1920-1970 by Kenneth Frampton A fresh perspective on modernist architecture reveals its diversity and complexity. This period saw significant advancements in construction technologies, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Architectural historian Kenneth Frampton explores the work of nineteen architects who contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology between 1922 and 1962. Frampton's account shines a light on iconic buildings like E-1027 House in France and Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Tokyo Golf Club and Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. By foregrounding the progressive models, advanced construction techniques, and sociocultural awareness employed by these diverse projects, Frampton offers new insights into the rich legacy of the Modern Movement. This book provides a nuanced look at the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism, challenging common associations with key figures like Mies and Le Corbusier.
