Modern Architecture

Romanticism and Reintegration

Originally published in 1929, this book demonstrates the architecture of the 1920s as the product of over a century of architectural development, despite the visual evidence that seemed to indicate that it had made a radical break with the past. This book crystallized the history and theories behind the "international style" for an American audience. The author was only 27 at the time, and this was his first book; yet it would substantially reshape the way subsequent generations would view modern architecture and its history. This is also the book that established Henry-Russell Hitchcock as a pre-eminent American historian of modern architecture.

Genealogy of Modern Architecture

A Comparative Critical Analysis of Built Form by Kenneth Frampton

"A Genealogy of Modern Architecture" is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected. Richly illustrated, "A Genealogy of Modern Architecture" is a new standard work in architectural education.
