Description:
Architectural Press, 2000 4to (30.5 cm), VIII, 232 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. This volume presents a debate among some of the most famous architectural theorists, with modernism as the central theme--the most pressing issue of the 20th century. The book is a compilation of two Architectural Press titles. In the first, Pevsner and Richards argue that the austere rationality of the modern movement is ultimately losing ground. In contrast, Dennis Sharp examines the evidence to support the counter-argument.
