(Preface) 'This widely acclaimed survey of 20th-century architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980. Kenneth Frampton revised and enlarged it in 1985, and has now further expanded it, bringing the story up to date and examining areas and issues of particular significance today. The completely new last chapter focuses on four countries where individual talent and enlightened patronage have combined to produce a comprehensive and convincing architectural culture: Finland, France, Spain and Japan. The bibliography has also been reviewed and extended, making this volume more indispensable than ever. 'A useful and wide-ranging work of superior architectural scholarship, this ambitious publication contains many chapters that stand on their own as perceptive essays; it is marked. throughout by a consistently mature critical intelligence...The quality of Frampton's research and analysis is high... the particular value of this kind of revisionist history is that it seeks sources and examines them thoroughly' (Ada Louise Huxtable, New York Review of Books) 'One of the most important works on modern architecture we have today'.
