Description

Product Description This book offers an exciting journey into the most recent architectural achievements, seen in their complexity and plurality, and described in the most objective and truthful way. The development of contemporary architecture is presented as it commenced more than a century ago, as it tried to reconcile democratic ideals with the forces of the Industrial Era. In contrast to many books on the modern-day art of building, the development of architecture is not described chronologically here, but, rather, independently for each selective architectural trend. This allows a better explanation of some evolutionary processes and the continuity of each trend. Thanks to such an approach, this book will serve as a convenient tutorial for courses on history of contemporary architecture in all art and architectural schools. Review "This book provides a new and comprehensive perspective on the genesis of modern architecture. This work ranges over much of the 19th, 20th and 21st century world’s architectural heritage and greatest achievements. […] It is written in a clear and engaging style, encouraging the reader to examine photographs and line drawings, showing step by step the innovative and aesthetic attributes of described periods, styles and buildings. Professor Marta Tobolczyk discusses the genesis of modern architecture in various contexts: artistic, economic, environmental, social and technological. […] The global reach of the text is matched by a rich assortment of photographs and careful selection of detailed line drawings. Tobolczyk has created a formidable body of work, focused on the genesis of modern architecture and testifies the greatest achievements of famous architects" --Professor Anna Pawlikowska-Piechotka, Architect, Warsaw About the Author Marta Tobolczyk is an architect and Professor of the Architecture and Urban Studies at Vistula University, Poland. She received her PhD and DSc from Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, where she taught for 30 years.
