More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of contemporary architectural form, this collection of ten essays and an epilogue offers a comprehensive analysis of modern architecture through close readings of significant French, German, and English texts from the eighteenth century to today. Kenneth Frampton challenges prevailing postmodernist views by emphasizing tectonics—architecture as a constructional craft. His work redefines modern architecture, asserting that structure and construction are as crucial as spatial and abstract considerations, thus influencing future discussions on the subject.
