Description

Critiquing the Modern in Architecture is a landmark collection of essays written over four decades that reexamines the ideological and metaphysical foundations of modern architecture. Author Jaimini Mehta shifts architectural modernism away from its traditionally Eurocentric perspective, offering critical analysis through non-western philosophical frameworks. The work is structured around three central themes: 'Rethinking Modernity' deconstructs the ideological foundations underlying the modernity and modernism distinction; 'The Idea of Architecture' examines timeless and invariable principles that define architectural practice across cultures and periods; and additional essays explore architecture's relationship to contemporary thought and practice. This Routledge publication represents a comprehensive intellectual engagement with modernist architectural theory, making it essential reading for architects, historians, academics and students seeking to understand architecture beyond conventional Western definitions.

Key Features

Jaimini Mehta's collection spans four decades of critical architectural scholarship and theoretical reflection.

Essays organised around three major themes including 'Rethinking Modernity' and 'The Idea of Architecture' for structured exploration.

Non-western perspectives challenge Eurocentric definitions of architectural modernism and expand theoretical discourse.

Routledge publication offers scholarly rigour and accessibility for professional architects, historians and academic readers.

Ideological and metaphysical examination of modern architecture grounds debate in philosophical rather than purely stylistic analysis.
