Key Modern Architects provides an accessible and thought-provoking
introduction to the work of the most significant architects of the
modern era. Fifty short chapters introduce fifty key architects,
from Le Corbusier to Aldo Van Eyck to Zaha Hadid, exploring their
most influential buildings and developing a critique of each
architect's work within a broader cultural and historical context.
The selection represents the most influential architects working
from 1890 to the present, those most likely to be taught on survey
courses in modern architectural history, along with some
lesser-known names with an equal claim to influence. Emphasis is
placed on a critical and interpretative approach, allowing the
student to position each architect in a cultural and intellectual
context quickly and easily. Artistic, technical, social, and
intellectual developments are brought to the fore - built and
unbuilt projects, writings and influences. This approach brings to
light the ideology behind architectural work, offering insights
into each architect's working practice. - Helps students to develop
a critical approach to understanding modern architectural history.
- One chapter per architect - meaning chapters may be read
individually as a concise resource for the study of an architect,
or together as a coherent book-length history of the whole period
of modern architecture. - Chapters are supported by boxed lists of
each architect's most significant projects, along with suggestions
for further reading as a springboard to further study and research.
Combining the clarity and accessibility of a textbook with in-depth
reading and a critical approach, Key Modern Architects provides an
invaluable resource for both the classroom and for independent
study in architectural and art history.
