Description
Thinking Through Twentieth-Century Architecture by Nicholas Ray explores the connection between architecture and its theoretical origins. This book clarifies a continuing debate in straightforward language, analyzing the genesis of modernism and its aftermath. Ray presents a dispassionate view, presenting persuasive arguments on behalf of different positions, rather than urging readers to identify with one strand of thinking or style of architecture at the expense of others. The book pursues the history of European and American architecture chronologically, interweaving philosophical ideas that informed both writers and architects. With 200 illustrations, this book is relevant to current issues in contemporary practice and education, showing that philosophical issues are fundamental to design decisions. It will appeal to those interested in twentieth-century architecture and architectural students alike.
