This second volume of the landmark Architectural Theory anthology
surveys the development of architectural theory from the
Franco-Prussian war of 1871 until the end of the twentieth century.
Together with volume I, it is the first anthology to follow the
full range of architectural literature from its beginnings in
classical times to its impact today.
Drawing on diverse international texts, this book explores various
reform movements in Europe and North America, including Arts &
Crafts; spans the technological and conceptual innovations of the
late-nineteenth century in connection with the rise and development
of modern theory; and reviews early critiques of modernism, the
"post-modern" discussions of the 1970s, and post-structural and
regionalist thought in the 1980s. The editors also consider the
counter-movements of the 1990s - inspired by the digital
revolution, technological innovations, and growing concerns for
sustainable design.
This anthology maps a wide array of debates in architectural
history, placing the writings of starchitects like Koolhaas,
Eisenman, and Lynn alongside the work of prominent architectural
critics. It also sheds new historical perspective on topics such as
ecology and sustainability, as well as CAD and blobs. The result is
an inspiring and comprehensive resource for those studying or
working in architectural theory and art history.
