Description

Explore the history of postwar urban reconstruction in The Practice of Modernism: Modern Architects and Urban Transformation, 1954-1972. Written by John Gold, this work serves as a sequel to his acclaimed book The Experience of Modernism (1997). The book provides a deep look into how the Modern Movement influenced urban planning and city design during a period of massive change. Gold uses extensive information from hours of in-depth interviews with architects from that era to build his study. This research examines the relationship between architectural vision and the actual practice of rebuilding cities. By tracing the personal, institutional, and professional backgrounds of the architects, the book offers a clear look at the people behind the major reconstruction and replanning schemes of the mid-20th century. This is an essential resource for those studying architecture criticism, theory, and the history of urban development.
